DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Susannah 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 Susannah:
Ware-506 and Weir-1026 appear to represent the same person because: Same husband, shared children. Ware is often found as a variation of Weir; the surname should be Weir according to the Rockbridge Co., VA records.
I believe this Susannah and this one: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Weir-1026, may be the same person. I am unsure as to the appropriate spelling of her maiden name, but it is possible it is 'Weir' since the profile manager for the other account is of the same surname. I would love to propose a merge but thought I would see what your thoughts are on this matter first.
