Research Notes:
This potential link between the Cochran and Mayo lines is based only on dna matches. It is shown here only to facilitate the management of notes about descendants of Marquis de Lafayette Mayo and to allow Ancestry to identify other dna matches. Robert Wolfe and his siblings have many dna matches with descendants of James Newsome and Samantha Mayo [grand-daughter of Marquis de Lafayette Mayo]. Many of those dna matches are shared matches with other likely descendants of Nancy Cochran's ancestors. We do not know how James Newsome or Samantha Mayo might be related to the Cochran line. The parents of both James Newsome and Samantha Mayo seem to be well documented, although no dna matches have been found among descendants of any of the siblings of James Newsome or Samantha Mayo. We seek clarification of how the descendants of this Mayo line might be related to Nancy Cochran.
