Dorothy Katherine Whiterent is identified in the supplied family material as Barbara’s 11th great-grandmother. Her listed life dates are 29 July 1594 to 27 January 1664.

Family Tree Maker notes identify Dorothy as the wife of Richard Goodale, whose dates are given there as 1594–1666. The same notes place Dorothy’s birth on 29 July 1594 in Norfolk, England.

Dorothy and Richard Goodale are identified as the parents of Ann Goodale, later Ann Goodale Allen. Ann’s birth is recorded as 22 October 1623 in Salisbury, Essex County, Massachusetts, and her death as 31 May 1678 in Salisbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.

The Family Tree Maker notes give Dorothy’s death as 12 October 1682 in Salisbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. This conflicts with the 27 January 1664 death date supplied in the profile header, so her death date requires further verification.
