DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Joseph 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:
Brewster-2913 and Brewster-685 appear to represent the same person because: Profiles match in spouse, birth and death date. Originally Brewster-2913 had same day and year of death, but March as the month. This discrepancy has been noted in the bio. The photograph of the headstone on FindAGrave shows September, so I believe that is the date with the most evidence supporting it.
