DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Hannah 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 Hannah:
Carver's mother was just known as Hannah and not "Hannah Betsy". The confusion comes from the informant for Carver's death certificate stating that his mother was "Betsy" when in fact that was the name of the woman who raised him after his mother, Hannah, died in childbirth. (Family story from Carver's descendants say he was raised by a deaf aunt after his mother died from childbirth.) The deaf aunt was Elizabeth Jones, Hannah's unmarried sister. In addition, Elias Jones, names his daughter "Betsy" in his will separately from his "deceased daughter, Hannah." Thanks for making the correction.
