DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mercy 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 Mercy:
Smith-116298 and Smith-28712 appear to represent the same person because: Smith-28712 appears to have the correct info on the wife of Nathaniel Scott. I assume he only had 1 wife named Mercy (Smith) Scott.
