INTRODUCTION

It is important to compare the various platforms "DNA CONNECTIONS" between siblings because Profile connections will follow documents attached to the Profile. In this case, Mary will appear if she is indicated on the Tree's profile as the mother. It is only through DNA comparisons that we will see which siblings match together genetically.

THE HISTORY

Through its own research, the DAR decided Sarah Margaret's parents were William B. Denmark Jr. and Anna Denmark (Moye), but many say her parents were William B. Denmark and Mary Denmark (Moye).

At this point in my study, the only registered marriage I see for William is Mary Cochrum 1813 in Warren Co. GA. Since during the colonial period, churches were the best place to archive information for vital statistics, it seems clear that either churches weren't available in Craven County North Carolina or the Denmarks simply didn't go to church; but either way, It looks like he William moved in with the Moye sisters Mary and Anna, in North Carolina, and between the three of them had 17 children.

Sarah Margaret m. William Wise. Wikitree believes she belongs with Mary [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Denmark-207]
FamilySearch believes she belongs with Anna [https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LTWV-7G7]

But I will attempt to report the interconnections with her family adding DNA evidence with the history we can find for this family in both their profiles and "The Denmark Trail from NC to GA"

WIKITREE

A Wikitree Profile is divided in 2 parts. The Left hand side is the Profile's details and the Right hand side a list of DNA Connections that show up for that person. What's interesting is that I can pull up both Mary and Anna's profiles, but I will only appear on Mary's, and not on Anna's.

William Batchelor Denmark Jr. and Mary Moye had 9 children and 6 DNA Connections

NOTE: Claude and I were in touch with each other for a while and he told me that neither his family nor his ancestors ever came to the United States. How did we have such a strong colonial relationship?
