Rebecca Knight (1643 - ABT 1688)

The proposed relationship of Rebecca Knight as the mother of Nathaniel Tompkins and John Tompkins is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between MC (a descendant of the Nathaniel Tompkins ancestral line) and JZ (a descendant of the John Tompkins ancestral line) with a shared segment of 18.68 cM across 1 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
