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:
Unlinked Edward Mitchell-10191 as father. The memorial indicates that the will of Robert Tyner Mitchell names Martha as one of his children. The Bio for this profile makes reference to parenthood of Richard Womack (he was actually a father-in-law), James Mitchell and Edward Mitchell. The profile of Edward Mitchell does not provide any corroboration that this Martha Mitchell was his child.
Mitchel-269 and Mitchell-10916 appear to represent the same person because: Birth and death dates match; places (especially death) need resolving. Husbands' names match.
Married same guy, same date.
Died same date, same location.
