Please find him in your matches at 23&me and send a request to connect! :D
Susannah Emerson is my 4th great grandmother. PPublic trees have her as daughter of "Trader" unknown McDaniel and Sookie (Su-Gi) "Granny Hopper" McDaniel . I disconnected her in my own trees and she keeps coming back with matches from others claiming the same line.
Time will tell. May be a generation further back and for now I just work on it when the DNA matches become overwhelming. Yesterday the reason was a new Theory of Relativity with a Strickland cousin
When I do a Match Both Kits, I get as top match a profile that is a 6th cousin here... He and I share
Susannah Terrell and her husband but he and I share closer than our Geni trek meaning is an unknown or someon NOT in the Geni tree or someone disconnected. Fun times lol
My 2x great grandmother, Pernetta Cornelia Ginn McVey spoke about her Granny Hopper and family lore is that Agnes was part Native American. She told a story about her great 1/2 aunt Tamar Tyner being kidnapped by Creek raid on her family (Richard Tyner and his first wife). Have been trying to find the line that can confirm parentage of Agnes McDaniel Dougherty Tyner for some time.
My line is: Agnes McDaniel Daugherty Tyner, Richard Tyner: Daughter: Elizabeth Lyles Tyner Boatright: Daughter: Elizabeth Boatright Ginn, Daughter: Pernetta Cornelia Ginn McVey: Daughter: Louellen Jane McVey Fry, son; James Robert Fry:son, Ruell Isaac Fry...my mother, and me....Richard Tyner's will includes his first wife's children : Tamar Tyner, and my ancestor Elizabeth Tyner Boatright.
Thank you, Erica Howton.
Janice Witt, I wish I knew family stories... I grew up away from relatives and Susannah is listed in the Hicks work that says she is Granny Hopper's daughter. I only heard of the book from others online searching for "Old Hop" and I had him in my inherited tree. My uncle Mason who you match with over 7cM is the one who shared that genealogy with me. It was given to the Emerson family at an earlier family reunion and I do not know the original research but I have looked for info on her for decades... I think DNA is our only hope for many and the fact that we match makes it even more important to understand how we match those with CONFIRMED genealogies.
I'm confused why her maiden name is listed as McDaniel and her About section says she's 'probably' a McDaniel by birth and a Daughtery by marriage, but the parents she's connected to are Daughterys even though there is nothing in her About section documenting her as their daughter.
If her parentage can't be documented, it would be best to disconnect them rather than to give false pathways through the Daughtery parents. If they are actually her parents, the maiden name McDaniel needs to be corrected.
Debbie Gambrell someone must have fiddled with her.
I finally disconnected her from Granny Hopper enough times at FamilySearch that she stayed disconnected and is now replaced by a Susannah McDaniel that has a husband named Dougherty.
People get ridiculous with these NA lines. Likely why I do NOT go looking for NA lines... I just look for ancestral grandparents.
The About absolutely needs cleaned up and locked.
Oh, you mean Agnes.
The FS profile for my 4th great grandmother https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/JXFH-47W Susannah Emerson
dead ends but someone added a daughter Susannah McDaniel Dougherty https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GHR4-M4B to Granny Hopper.
Three “Agnes Dougherty” mixup.
If I got it right:
unknown Tyner Married 1) Unknown Dougherty 2) Richard Tyner, Sr.
Not the same as the possible daughter of Granny Hopper, Susannah “Sookie” Dougherty who married James Dougherty, Sr.
No reason to think either of them are the same as Agnes Daugherty although FindAGrave names her the same.

Janice Witt please look for him at 23&me!
This is a full match and 23&me may have some tools. I don't know why I didn't check you before.

I went to 23andme and tried Emerson in DNA relatives, but my three results were three females. Two with Landers last name and one with Bennett. The Landers were on Dad's side, so not connected to my Agnes Su Gi McDaniel Dougherty Tyner....I tried Mom's account and didn't get a JMason Emerson either. I think 23andme removes some as new people get tested and limits number in account. I could try running Mom's kit with his. She is JMFC LH5069043
Janice Witt I couldn't find you in his either. I have trouble finding folks by name.
He has since passed away so I try to check it but I upgraded my own account to be able to use the new tools and so I spend more time there and it is easier to do name searches. I checked your Wikitree and he and I are both showing further out to you which is of course the issue when an unknown or especially a NA or AA unknown is the MRCA/the ancestor contributing the shared DNA.
Keep me in mind please and do PM me anytime. I will reply.
