The paternal relationship between Jonathan Meeker and his son
Jonas Meeker is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KM.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KM and other confirmed descendants of
Timothy Meeker/
Desire Cory is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KM descends from Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through Jonathan Meeker and his son Jonas Meeker, the presence of significant shared DNA between KM and other known descendants of Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through Jonathan Meeker to Jonas Meeker, and ultimately to KM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
