Biography
Research Notes
This profile likely conflates multiple individuals into another individual who never actually existed. The profile's original creator wrote:
She Married David Smith. I don't have any other info on her at this time.
The will of her purported mother makes no mention of an Elizabeth Smith or her heirs, however it does mention a son-in-law, Daniel Smith, who had been married to Catherine Zimmermann, a daughter from the purported mother's first marriage to Michael Zimmermann.
Images of the original will can be difficult to read because the writing is so light, so some transcriptions mistakenly refer to Daniel as "David", which may be why the profile's creator referred to him that way. His first wife was born about 1758, about the same birth year purported for this profile. After her death, he married Elizabeth Hahn. Thus, this profile may be based upon a mixture of the details of his two wives.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Elizabeth by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' 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 Elizabeth:
I'm trying to determine more about this profile. Is it possible that the information used to create it was based on a few misunderstandings or details of multiple individuals and that she never existed as presented?
The will of her purported mother mentioned a son-in-law, Daniel Smith. Some transcriptions of the will call him David Smith though the original document, which can be difficult to read because the writing is so light, calls him Daniel. He had been married to Catherine Zimmerman, a daughter from the purported mother's first marriage to Michael Zimmerman. Catherine Zimmerman was born about 1758 or about the same time as Killian-499. Daniel Smith later married Elizabeth Hahn. Could a mixture of his wives' details be the basis of this profile?
