Person:Jacob Root (6)

DNA evidence suggests that he is son of Patriot Michael Root (1746 PA - 16 Nov 1842 VA) and Mrs. Mary Catherine Doll Root (1756-?). Historical written sources are needed, however, for proof to join the Sons of the American Revolution. https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Catharina_Doll_%281%29 https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Michael_Roots_%281%29
