John Denean (1822 - )

The proposed relationship of John Denean as the father of James Andrew Denean and Mary Jane Denean is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between AR (a descendant of the Mary Jane Denean ancestral line) and LAD (a descendant of the James Andrew Denean ancestral line) with 45.87 cM of shared DNA across 3 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
