Classification: Query
Surnames: Brooks, Dochstader, Hodges
Rachel Dochstader was the daughter of Joseph Dochstader and Hannah Hodges.

Joseph Dochstader was the son of Henrick "Henry" Dochstader and Magdalena "Lena" Weber.

Hannah Hodges was the daughter of Captain Edmund Hodges and Rachel Godfrey.

The Hodges/Godfrey connections go back to the Mayflower. Documentary proof that Hannah Hodges was the daughter of Captain Edmund Hodges and Rachel Godfrey has not yet been found. However, DNA testing could be the proof! There are several Hodges descendants (including me) who are participants in Family Finder DNA testing -- If your DNA is a match to mine (and other Hodges descendants), then we have pretty solid proof.

So, any descendants of Cooper Brooks and Rachel Dochstader, please consider Family Finder DNA testing. Let me know if you are interested.
