The participant, surnamed "Dotson", is a member of a family group which has been "quietly told" their parents were the children of Jedediah Strong VII. With the exception of this family legend, there has been no other proof of the relationship until now. There is an exact match in the first 12 markers (STR) of Kit #15744 with the first 12 markers of both Kits #6811 & 7257. As previously anticipated, the second 13 markers (PP3) matched the "Assumed New England Strong Haplotype", marking members of the Elder John Strong lineages.
