Benjamin Defehr (ABT 1733 - 1822)

The proposed relationship of Benjamin Defehr as the father of Isaak Defehr, Cornelius Benjamin Defehr and Jacob Defehr is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between HW (a descendant of the Cornelius Benjamin Defehr ancestral line) and APF (a descendant of the Isaak Defehr ancestral line) with a shared segment of 80.10 cM across 6 HIR segments.

It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between ED (a descendant of the Jacob Defehr ancestral line) and HW (a descendant of the Cornelius Benjamin Defehr ancestral line) with a shared segment of 46.66 cM across 3 HIR segments.

These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
