DNA Notes
Known segment triangulations between descendants of Mary Jane and her siblings (as named in the 1850 census) may be viewed below.
The clusters in this table are currently based on the test results of one descendant of Mary Jane (as noted in the last row for each segment); these results may also be seen on her public chromosome map at https://dnapainter.com/profile/view/8d0ee70132832282. (Select "Fisher or Wells" from the legend.) More details, including testing company, GEDmatch ID, etc. may be found on the public map.
| Chromosome:Position | Child of John Fisher and Susanna Wells | Grandchild | Notes |
| 7:42-72 | Samuel L | Ophelia Jane | This segment is identified as "Native American" via tools at GEDmatch and 23&Me. |
| n/a | n/a | This segment is shared by an alleged descendant of John Fisher and Elizabeth Tubb(s), a couple suggested by Ancestry's ThruLines as an ancestor of John Fisher who married Susanna Wells. No sources are provided in the trees that inform the ThruLines algorithm; however, multiple matches to Fisher/Tubbs descendants may eventually have meaning. (See notes on chromosome 14 below.) | |
| n/a | n/a | This segment is shared by a descendant of Nicholas Fisher and Elizabeth (perhaps Kearse, Cooksey), alleged parents of John Fisher who married Elizabeth Tubb(s), above. | |
| 11:12-27 | Lucius | Rufus | This descendant also tested at Ancestry where many of the shared matches are of Fisher/Wells descent. |
| Mary Jane | William Levi | ||
| Mary Jane | James Tillman | JT's great-granddaughter Sandra Gale Massey (GEDmatch M343009) | |
| 13:27-39 | Lucius | Martin Luther | |
| Isaac Newton | Frank Arthur | ||
| Isaac Newton | Ruby Grace | ||
| Mary Jane | James Tillman | JT's great-granddaughter Sandra Gale Massey (GEDmatch M343009) | |
| 14:48-79 | Susan E. | Robert Alonzo | This descendant also tested at Ancestry. In addition to many shared matches of Fisher/Wells descent, four have a descent from a Fisher/Tubbs couple via two different lines. In other matches, three-generations of one family with strong Cooksey links to the Fisher/Tubb families also match on this segment. |
| n/a | n/a | This segment is shared by an alleged Fisher/Tubb descent as follows: son "John Killingsworth", grandson Enoch Jasper (g-gs Thomas Benton - (redacted XY) - (redacted XX) - self) | |
| Isaac Newton | Nary Rosella | ||
| Isaac Newton | Frank Arthur | ||
| Mary Jane | William Levi | ||
| Mary Jane | James Tillman | JT's great-granddaughter Sandra Gale Massey (GEDmatch M343009) | |
| 16:80-90 | Samuel L | Crawford William | Via CW's daughter Nellie |
| Samuel L | Ophelia Jane and Crawford William | Via CW's daughter Bessie in addition to descent via OJ | |
| Mary Jane | James Tillman | JT's great-granddaughter Sandra Gale Massey (GEDmatch M343009) | |
| 18:6-12 | Lucius | Rufus | |
| Samuel L | Ophelia Jane | Via OJ's son Thomas Calvin | |
| Samuel L | Ophelia Jane and Crawford William | Via OJ's son Otho in addition to descent via CW | |
| Mary Jane | James Tillman | JT's great-granddaughter Sandra Gale Massey (GEDmatch M343009) | |
| Mary Jane | James Tillman | Second cousin once removed to Sandra Gale Massey |
Matches between descendants of Mary Jane and her brother Isaac Newton must be treated with caution. Mary Jane's son James Tillman's mother-in-law remarried to Isaac Newton Fisher and had children. These segments are not included here unless descendants of other Fisher/Wells siblings are known to share the segment. Given the many descendants of Isaac Newton Fisher who have tested and the many segments shared, more Fisher/Wells-specific segments are likely to eventually be identified with these matches.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
