Thank you very much for connecting my DNA to Mary Harbert as I just learned this myself. FamilySearch has started a new Pioneer Ancestor program and they produced a whole list six ancestors that runs vertically with my known ancestors and the two columns meet at the top with Mary Harbert. I am also related to Joseph Cheney and William Cheney! This DNA stuff is awesome!!! I just love it..Taylor
