I am looking for the parents of Sarah Elizabeth STEWART who was born in 1830 in GA and died 1883 in Marion, Perry County, AL. Her daughter, Martha Elizabeth HEARD was born 1861 and her daughter was Phoebe LEVERT(my grandmother.) Some of the surnames for Phoebe's female descendants were HOLIFIELD, HALE, FREEMAN, JENKINS and WORRELL. After the death of Henry Edwin LeVert, Martha HEARD was married to Adoniran Judson LOCKE so the LOCKE females directly traceable to Martha HEARD would also be in this mtDNA line. The reason I am trying to trace female members of these lines is because my daughter gave me the mtDNA test for a Christmas present this year (2005), signing me up for the National Geographic Genographic Project. This test will trace all the direct female descendants and ancestors in my line. Not by name, of course, but by mtDNA. We have to find the names for ourselves. Only one female from a matriarchal line needs to be tested so, as I understand it, my test will have same results as would the mother of Sarah Elizabeth STEWART, all her daughters, all her sisters and their daughters as well as all the direct female ancestors and descendants in this line of women mentioned above. We have common DNA with Marie Antoinette so would be fun if we could actually trace a paper trail to her. Nannette Worrell Serra bellanet@swbell.net
