DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Lydia by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Lydia:
I was very surprised to see Lydia listed as a half sibling but I was more curious. I went to research her a bit and found that Zachariah Curtis married a Lydia Palmer in Scituate MA. They had 2 children (1 Zachariah, Jr., b. 1763. 2 Lydia, b. 1767.) in Scituate then moved to Chesterfield, Mass. (3 Priscilla, a dau., was bapt. in Chesterfield, 9 Oct. 1774.
I do not believe Lydia is the daughter of Elisha Curtis and Sarah Chittenden. Perhaps she is but there is no evidence. Very strange how her profile lists Luther as a half brother but no source.
