DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Dorcas by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Dorcas:
Towson-16 and Towson-4 appear to represent the same person because: Both reference the same FindAGrave memorial id, same birth/death years and locations.
Towson-43 and Towson-4 appear to represent the same person because: same name and husband, dates and places are estimates. No sources at all on Towson-4, dates/places on Towson-43 have Find a Grave as source.
Isaac Walker Maclay wrote a book about Henry Sater and his descendants in 1897. Mr. Maclay did not organize his book very well. Still, there is lots of good data to be found there. Read about Dorcas' husband at URL
