DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Ruth 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 Ruth:
At least three separate documents state that Ruth Ann Pigot's parents - Dr. Edward Pigot and Ruth (Havens) Pigot - were married on October 9, 1733, in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Although her father, Edward, WAS born in England, it seems more likely that Ruth Ann Pigot was born in Rhode Island or one of the other New England colonies, not England.
