I've been working on these connections tonight and have come to the conclusion that I can't find proof that this ancestor of my son on his paternal side is actually the daughter of the parents she's connected to. Her Wiki page just shows her father was named Henry but I don't see enough there to be certain it's the Henry White she's attached as a daughter to here on Geni:

If anyone has better documentation for her parentage, I'm trying really hard to get her connections correct and any assistance is appreciated. Thanks in adavnce.

My son has 41 DNA matches through Ruth White in his Ancestry ThruLines, but since she's his 5th grandparent, that's as far as his DNA matches on that line go. However, I have access to the DNA matches a 1st cousin once removed of his on the same lines and since that person is a generation older, he has DNA matches back to the generation of Ruth's parents. AND, he has 42 DNA matches through Henry White but only 9 DNA matches through Celia Bryant Page because only those few have a wife connected for Henry in their trees. So it seems they all agree Henry was Ruth's father but not so sure about who her mother was.

I double-checked the info on the Henry White the DNA matches are to:

BIRTH 24 APRIL 1724 • Orange, Virginia, United States
DEATH 17 JUNE 1802 • Bedford, VA, USA

and I can't find any evidence that he had any other wife than Celia Page.

Failed to mention...my son's paternal cousin whose ThruLines go back to Henry White and Celia Page IS one of the ones whose DNA matches to Celia. Just not all of his shared matches with Henry also show as matches to Celia. But the man matching both Henry and Celia is a paternal 1st cousin of my son's father.

Agree. No daughter Ruth is listed at Henry White’s Will.

I’ll disconnect, make MP, add a curator note, and lock relationships.

Good work.
