DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jane 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 Jane:
The only sons of Talmon and Mary he documents are Esaias (29 May 1747), Talmon (around 1755) Noah (23 October 1757), Joel (around 1760), and Elijah (around 1763). But, he does say that "Family tradition that has been passed down states that Talmon and Mary had 14 children. If this is so, the names of some children have been lost."
About Abner and Joyce he says "Abner married Joyce Thornhill around 1750. Abner lived near Irwin's River on Sycamore Creek. Thomas deeded him the 204 acre tract there on 17 August 1763.49 Abner witnessed several deeds for his brothers and father and it appears that he was the only one to leave his mark vice a signature. Sycamore Creek lies in what is now Patrick County. Abner's Ridge in Patrick is near his old farm. Part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it is said to be named after him.50 Abner died in 1778, leaving his land to his four sons, and other items to all his unnamed children. His widow Joyce remained in Virginia.51" but I don't see a reference for where he got the information about the four sons.
So, I don't know if either parentage of Elisha can be proved. [There was also another Elisha Harbour, son of Thomas and Sarah (1733-1769).]
