DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Anna 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 Anna:
Weston Clark Vaughan's parents are Elisha and Anna (Wright) Vaughan. His middle name comes from his Grandmother's maiden name (Mary "Polly" Clark) she married Elkanah Vaughan - Weston's Grandfather.
He is the direct descendant of Mayflower Pilgrims Francis Cooke and James Chilton.
Weston & his 7 brothers all fought in the Civil War. All came home safe and sound. He volunteered for 4 years not just 2 and was paid a bonus for doubling his service. With the bonus, the family believes this is how he bought land in Mattapoisett, MA and why many of his descendants were born in that town. He was in the Co. E of the 32nd Massachusetts Infantry.
He not only has a veteran's medal next to his stone at Cushing Cemetery - his family has also honored him with a memorial here on Find-a-Grave and on the FOLD3 website.
When he was young he was a mariner. He then became a cordwainer during the "cowboy" days and eventually worked in the cotton mills making bed spreads (mill operative) and in the furniture business when he was older.
He or his family are mentioned and documented in many books:
