Ann Steele (27 Oct 1829 - 15 Dec 1909)

The proposed relationship of Ann Steele as the mother of Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch and David Steele Murdock is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between ANA (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and JWF (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) with a shared segment of 32.34 cM across 2 HIR segments.

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