DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships.
It is likely that these
autosomal DNA
test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Susannah:
Susanna has two spouses again with different death dates. Can anyone provide a source for the death date of the correct William Martin who married Susanna?
The 1840 census linked here is for a Susanna Meador in Cumberland County Virginia. This would not be the same person as Susanna Meador who married William Martin in 1782. Wrong state, wrong name
Tudor-1223 and Tudor-755 appear to represent the same person because: based on Yates Publishing. U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2004. William Martin born 1760, married Susannah Tudor born 1764 They were married in 1783. Born and married in Virginia
Meador-1737 and Meador-274 appear to represent the same person because: Both of these Meador profiles list the same name, same DOB and Birth Location, same spouse (William Martin), same DOD and same location of Death.
Tudor-734 and Meador-274 appear to represent the same person because: Martins are tested per Y DNA, "Tudor", does not exist, she was Meador in Franklin Co VA and the family moved to Floyd Co KY, Please clear this mixup. .
