However- following my direct line to Sarah who DEFINITELY was born and died in what was then Bladen, NC (not near the VA border) and this couple didn't travel that far south according to any sources.
But 2: my biological mother is listed as sharing DNA with this woman and we both share with Sarah...I'm prematurely posting so anyone with better knowledge can save me some time but meanwhile I am going to research further. Thank you for reading and any advice is helpful...especially with the DNA as I can't recall the "accuracy" of the list below. Thanks! Becky Elizabeth
Update: my mother does show up on the barely sourced DNA list for the second husband John but not the first...and prior to this I had not connected any line to this branch and she does not have an active tree on here...
I may adopt the orphaned versions and work on them to either merge or disconnect
