Eliza Jane Meeker (ABT 1841 - 24 Mar 1907)

The maternal relationship between Eliza Jane Meeker and her son WMJ is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant BEC.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between BEC and other confirmed descendants of William Meeker/Patience Mount is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since BEC descends from William Meeker/Patience Mount through Eliza Jane Meeker and her son WMJ, the presence of significant shared DNA between BEC and other known descendants of William Meeker/Patience Mount validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple William Meeker/Patience Mount through Eliza Jane Meeker to WMJ, and ultimately to BEC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
