DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.

Unless there are objections, I plan to update this profile to incorporate information from recently published article, David Curtis Dearborn and John Bradley Arthaud, "William^1 Woodbury of Salem and Beverly, Massachusetts," New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 175 (2021):207-222.
I also plan to add additional sources (profile now cites a series of what appear to be vital records).
Keith, Mary Patch dtr of Elizabeth NIcholas doesn't exist. I would like to change her data and merge her into Mary Patch (1649-1716) now numbered Patch-97. You and Al manage Patch-48 also (Al has given permission.) to merge Patch-48 & Patch-97. Do you have any objections?
I also plan to add additional sources (profile now cites a series of what appear to be vital records).
