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 Seville:
Miller-27493 and Mueller-5136 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate profiles. Slightly different dates, but clearly the same person. Correct LNAB is Mueller. One profile has second married name, Francke, the other uses the third married name, Sheets. She was also married , first to Timmerman
This 1783 transcribed Court record appears to identify a third marriage to "Sheets" for Martin Frank's wife Sevilla. Appears to be Jacob Sheets...

Thanks, Honi, it appears that there is an unsourced duplicate of Sevila who is married to Jacob Sheets. I will initiate a merge and add your source information to Sevilla Miller Sheets, who currently appears as her sister.
