DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Patience 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 Patience:
David and Jemima do not seem to have had any daughter named Sarah, so it seems to me that we should first research Benjamin's wife or wives named Sarah.
Spousal connection of this Patience Fish with any person other than Jeremiah Austin has not yet been substantiated on the basis of any evidence. The attachment of this profile to Ephraim Macomber evidently was done on the basis of a series of familysearch.com entries that presume attachments of several children to this Patience Fish as their mother. Notably, and according to that same series of entries, this Patience Fish was having (many) children with Jeremiah Austin during the same timeframe. It seems that an error of conflation has been made, with no resolution of the conflict. It is recommended that data supporting this profile be significantly investigated in an effort to resolve it.
Sarah Fish born in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts Bay and married to Benjamin Macomber b. 1707 and also to Jeremiah Austin b. 1758. Patience Fish born in Portsmouth, Newport, Rhode Island and married to Ephraim Macomber, b. 1749 son of a[Macomber-298|Benjamin Macomber]] and Sarah Waite.
David and Jemima do not seem to have had any daughter named Sarah, so it seems to me that we should first research Benjamin's wife or wives named Sarah.
