Since we're on the subject of DNA Studies, there was another study I wanted to do, for relatives of John Wilkes Booth; however, it appears those descendant relatives are committed to Nate Orlowek, or other studies. They didn't want to discuss their dna with me when I called, and referred me to Mr Orlowek, but I don't care to be part of somebody else's plan. Mine doesn't involve digging anybody up, as there were no exhumations with the NHL and Rathbone Studies.

I tried! My study (again with Suzanne Hallstrom) could have checked for the possible supposed children of JWB.

I may revisit possibilities for both fathers of Nancy Hanks Lincoln and Sarah Hanks, mother of Sophia (Hanks)Lynch-Legrand. According to descendants of Sophia, Sarah and Nancy were "badly mixed, half-sisters and cousins", so possibly the fathers were related; if the same father they would be full-sisters.
