DNA from 2017 has brought changes to the thought of Sarah Shores as a daughter of Sanburne Woodson. The following information was copied from FamilySearch originally posted by Contributor Karen Xaramillo copied from LH88-6JC and LX7Z-1T1:
"There has been some suggestion that Sarah Woodson daughter of Sanbourne Woodson is the incorrect Sarah of the Thomas Shores relationship. If you have any data to prove differently I would love to see it. This would be the forum for discussions.... It is possible that Sarah Lloyd might be an alternative choice. Sarah Woodson d/o Sanbourne Woodson appears to have married Olive Branch Roberts and not Thomas Shores. This information would say that Sarah Woodson daughter of Sanborne Woodson died in 1846. Legacy Sources from Ancestry are not helpful as they remain undocumented. Information on Sarah Lloyd is scarce. We do know that one of Thomas shores descendants named her daughter " Sarah Lloyd". Autosomal DNA testing of Shores descendants have recently revealed connections to the Woodsons of Fluvanna Virginia and with family connections to the Cocke family there. The "Shores' of Fluvanna have well documented history there and are cousins to the Shores of Loudoun Virginia.As such, a much better possibility is that Sarah Woodson is one from that Clan of Woodsons living in the Henrico/ Fluvanna Virginia area.... Josiah Woodson is one of three brothers that as of today are possible parents for Sarah Woodson wife of Captain Thomas Shores of Loudoun Virginia.... As always a work in progress.
The reason Sarah Woodson wife of Captain Thomas Shores has been attached to Josiah Woodson is that recent DNA findings of 2017 has connected the descendants of Thomas and Sarah to the Woodsons of Henrico/ Fluvanna Virginia. These findings also connect this family as having a relationship to the Cocke family that lived there as well. Captain Thomas Shores is cousin to the Shores Clan in Fluvanna. John Woodson Sr. had several documented sons that could have been Sarah Woodsons father.... and more work is being done to filter it out....Sarah Woodson w/o Capt. Thomas Shores has been placed in many genealogies as the daughter of Sanbourne Woodson. That appears to be incorrect, as the balance of evidence now shows that the daughter of Sanbourne Woodson was married to another man and died in 1846."
