Y DNA tests have shown that this John Gilbert is not related to the John "Bennett" Gilbert family; DNA tests of descendants of this John Gilbert do not match those of two descendants of John "Bennett" Gilbert through Frederic Gilbert. This test, as well as Autosomal DNA results, do indicate that Pendleton Gilbert is likely John's brother.
