DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Martha 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 Martha:
A merge has been proposed with a profile with the same first name, last name at birth, and same birth and death dates and places. Appears to be either the same person or conflated.
Should we:
1) Detach the husband Robert Bulter, remove the married name Bulter, and complete the merge.
2) Mark this person as Uncertain Existence, develop case this person did not exist, and then mark as Disproven Existence? [if this marriage is frequently repeated in genealogies and we want to document it is disprove]
looking for a marriage date - Robert Wynne names wife Mary in his 1754 will. A profile for Anne Bolling is attached as his wife, with a 1708 marriage date, and Anne's profile says she died in 1750. Martha's brother named her Martha Winn in his 1725/1731 will (date written/date proved). So Anne could not have both married Robert in 1708 and died in 1750.

Angelica (Wynne) Raines is - she's named in her father's will & her profile says she was born in 1716.
Anne (Wynne) Butler (see Wynne-1009 and Wynne-539 - both born 1720, both d. before Robert's 1754 will; one dau. of Martha Jefferson... by THOMAS Wynne & one of Ann Bolling [no father named]).
father Thomas must be in error, since Robert's 1754 will names Mary Butler his granddaughter... I've detached the profile for him (Wynne-1010) from Anne's.
Also, changes have been recently made to this pre-1700 profile without reliable sources.
