The paternal relationship between Joseph Stubbs and his daughter
Dorcas Victoria Coffin Stubbs is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CT.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CT and other confirmed descendants of
William Pote/
Dorothy Gatchell is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CT descends from William Pote/Dorothy Gatchell through Joseph Stubbs and his daughter Dorcas Victoria Coffin Stubbs, the presence of significant shared DNA between CT and other known descendants of William Pote/Dorothy Gatchell validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple William Pote/Dorothy Gatchell through Joseph Stubbs to Dorcas Victoria Coffin Stubbs, and ultimately to CT, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
