MTDNA testing links author, descendant of Robert Daniels, to Hester Daniels. Of five candidates of appropriate age, 2 died young, 2 married previously, only Esther Wight, sister of Bethia Wight of Medfield remains. 2 children match names of her parents. Unable to find evidence the traditional candidate Hester Fairbanks ever existed.
