John T Pendleton (1824 - 1908)

The proposed relationship of John T Pendleton as the father of Martha Jane Pendleton and John Thomas Pendleton is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, twice removed relationship between DC (a descendant of the Martha Jane Pendleton ancestral line) and WC (a descendant of the John Thomas Pendleton ancestral line) with a shared segment of 70.50 cM across 2 HIR segments.

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