DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
11 Oct 1799 "A Decorum or Rule of Conference"... Art. 10, Sec. 9: "The Woman hath not a right by the laws of Christ to usurp Authority over the man, and therefore ought not to speak in the Church, only in cases of conscience or in such particular circumstances that the nature of the thing may require it."
8 Jan 1791 Mary Joyner and others cited to answer for their long absence; again in Oct 1792; on 9 Apr 1796, "on a request of sister Mary Joyner, she was dismist to the Church at Conoho under the care of Br. Amos Harrell."
