Joseph Dougal (1800 - 25 Sep 1850)

The proposed relationship of Joseph Dougal as the father of Elizabeth Dougal and Sarah J. Dougal is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between JWF (a descendant of the Elizabeth Dougal ancestral line) and OLR (a descendant of the Sarah J. Dougal ancestral line) with a shared segment of 42.61 cM across 2 HIR segments.

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