Maria Robertson

I DNA match with descendants of Charles S Nevins. Charles is likely the brother of Maria. Charles and Maria both married their spouses the same year in the same county.

Different records say she was born in New Hampshire or Canada.

I believe the most likely candidate for her parents identity is Samuel Nevins, brother of Thomas IV, Jeriah, and Henry. Several coincidences suggest Samuel could be the parent of Charles S and therefore of his sister Maria Nevins:

1. Samuel had a son named Oscar (b.1810), and Charles S Nevins had a son named Oscar born in 1836. Samuel had a son named William, and Charles S named a son William.
2.Charles S had a daughter Sophronia who married William Randolph and named a son, Samuel Randolph.
3. Charles S Nevins married Margaret Bennet from New York, and Sylvia a daughter of Samuel Nevins married a Hiram Bennet also from New York.
4. I match dna with a direct descendant of Mortimer Nevins, son of Samuel.
5. Samuel had a daughter named Susan, and Maria named her first daughter Susan:
6. I match dna on my maternal line with descendants of Hannah Wood’s ancestors (Wood, Esty, and Farnum families)
