DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Zach by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Goforth-158 and Goforth-81 appear to represent the same person because: these are two families for the same man. Zachariah "jack" Goforth was married twice: 1) Charlotte Melton and 2) Charity King. These families should be consolidated. If you agree, please merge Goforth-158 into Goforth-81. Thank you!
