Notes:

A daughter of a daughter a Ida Jones, who would be a direct female descendant of Mary, the wife of Daniel Morgan, served as an mtDNA donor to determine if Mary was indeed native american, as had been widely rumored. The mtDNA proved to be HV, or Helena, a primarily European haplogroup, most prevalent in Western Europe. The single difference from the Cambridge Reference Sequence was CRS 16311 C. The HV results preclude Native American ancestry on the matrilineal track -- the haplogroup would have to be A, B, C, D or a variety of X to show matrilineal ancestry as Native American. Therefore it appears that Mary Morgan's mother WAS NOT a full blooded Native American. It is still possible, however, she had native american ancestors, but if so it was not through her direct maternal line.
