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:
Hi! I notice you didn't attach the mother's profile. The text says her mother is Susannah Hardaway. Just curious, is there a reason you didn't attach Hardaway-9 yet?
I am working as fast as I can! I am working from https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/113485112/georgia-ella-shoults and her Daughter of the American Revolution application. The application gives Baker Pegram, son of Peter, married to Mary Manson. It does not give her mother's name and the text is from Ancestry. I do not have an Ancestry account, so I don't know if there is an original source there, or not. If you can find a valid source, please feel free to connect her. jan
I thought you might be working on reliable sources only. Susannah as mother is from the DAR records, which need collaboration. Take your time. As a friend told me once when I was stressing, they'll still be dead tomorrow :D
oops. Sorry! She's not named in the DAR record. I was going by the date you have for her birth (before Susannah died). She's listed in the Pegram Family Album, Descendants of George Pegram, but that website doesn't give a source for her.
While Rootsweb gives his mother as Agnes, I think that the dates of marriage of Peter and his two wives needs to be confirmed. Since they are not my profiles, I had yet to do any further research.
I posted a comment to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Manson-1670#comments - he is listed as son under Peter's DAR record. County records for his marriages would have been lost when Dinwiddie County's courthouse burned down.
sorry - seems I was misremembering where he was married. Peter's profile shows marriage to Agnes was in Prince George County.
