Dorothy Gatchell ( - ABT 1755)

The proposed relationship of Dorothy Gatchell as the mother of Ann Pote and Gamaliel Pote is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between KLJ (a descendant of the Ann Pote ancestral line) and CT (a descendant of the Gamaliel Pote ancestral line) with a shared segment of 67.10 cM across 4 HIR segments.

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