Since my connection is through daughters, I have not followed up the idea of DNA research. I would test the DNA of a male-line descendant of my Greenberry Parker’s brother Robert David Parker.
And, aslo, it would be nice to connect Elijah and his father Benjamin to the Thomas Willoughby who arrived in Virginia on the ship in 1610. DNA may be the only way to do that.

Is there a DNA project for the Benjamin Willoughby family?
I am a descendant of Rodolphus Willoughby, who came to Marion County, Mississippi in abt 1822. The research I have done is compiled and published online at Mostly Mississippi http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=shannon50
I am interested in finding out if he is your missing child of Elijah Willoughby.

Thank you so much for this wonderful information on the Willoughby’s. It took seeing the bible record for me to move Enoch & Rhoda over to the Elijah Willoughby family.

I did notice that you have read the bible record for Susannah Willoughby the 5th child of Elijah as being born 31 Jan 1795. On close inspection of the copy I recieved I believe the date is 31 Jan 1798, only two years before the next entry of 1800.

If polly is actually a little older than susannah it would make sence she is child 4 and not on the bible record.

thank a million
