DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Abigail 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 Abigail:
Ferris-1621 and Ferris-1248 are not ready to be merged because: Secondary sources suggest they are the same, but if she died in 1737, then she couldn't have had children with Knapp in the 1740s. I think there are likely two Abigail Ferris' being comingled, but I can't find primary sources to resolve.
