DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Eva 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 Eva:
I am going to disconnect Catherine Coddington as wife of Jacob Viele (the 1757 marriage record says Jacob Viele, y.m. (unmarried man), so it is a different Jacob (probably the one born in 1730).
Eva Fort and Jacob Viele witnessed the 1779 baptism of granddaughter Eva, so Eva Fort was still alive then. And many online trees say that she died in 1797.
I found a birth record for a younger Jacob Viele (christened in 1730 in Albany).
Therefore, could all those online trees be wrong about Catherine Coddington being married to the Jacob Viele born in 1719?

This first wife Eva presumably died in 1756 or 1757, and Jacob married his second wife in late 1757.
Therefore the youngest two children (Johannes and Sarah) would have been by the second wife.
