Stephen CASSIDY (ABT 1760 - ABT 1830)

The proposed relationship of Stephen CASSIDY as the father of Thomas CASSIDY and Philip CASSIDY is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between Joan Patricia ROBERTS (a descendant of the Thomas CASSIDY ancestral line) and JC (a descendant of the Philip CASSIDY ancestral line) with a shared segment of 34.02 cM across 2 HIR segments.

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