    HOW BELLAMY CONNECTS TO MCJ. DNA CONFIRMED.

    Family history and DNA research have helped confirm even deeper connections.

    Mary Hill Wright married Nathaniel Metcalf, who came from a larger family.

    One of his siblings was Candace Metcalf, the third child of Joseph Metcalf and Bettie.

    Candace married twice, first to Harry Quarles and then to Henry Bellamy. Between these two marriages, she had fifteen children, expanding the Metcalf family line even further.
