DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Bridget 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 Bridget:
I agree that there is no evidence for a Bridget in the family of Edward and Elizabeth Phelps. The only Bridget Phelps listed in The Phelps Family of America was born in Hebron, Connecticut, on May 31, 1769.
The latest research of the New England Study Project at NEHGS does not include a daughter Bridget in this family. Absent documentation, she should be detached from the family. https://www.americanancestors.org/DB501/i/60432/1/74387329 (subscription)
