Betsy Patrick b. abt. 1778 in IRE or Scotland m. Dr. Joseph Mares/Mears in NC
I am searching for the parents and history of Elizabeth "Betsy" Patrick b. Ireland or possibly in Scotland abt 1775-1780.She married Dr. Joseph Mares or Mears in Craven Co., NC.They had one daughter, Eliza Eleandor Mares who married Beasor Barrow in NC. Her husband was married previously and had one daughter from that marriage.Dr. Mares or Mears died in TN where he lived with his daughter from his first marriage as a widow in Nashville.So, we know Betsy died before 1840.In know very little about either of these two, Betsy and Joseph, but especially want to know more about her heritage.
I have done a mtDNA test on her line and I am getting LOTS of matches from Scotland, but nothing concrete to pinpoint her line yet.
Thanks,
Sabrina
