It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Emilia by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
I have tried to document this person and can find no documentation except hearsay that she is the daughter of Daniel Wright-27683 and Ann Young-15522. She is not mentioned in Daniels will at all and was born in the wrong state to be Daniel's daughter, so I am disconnecting her until proof can be found.
I believe this person is hooked to the wrong father. There is no Emily mentioned in the fathers will and none of his other children were born in Tennessee
