Jonathan Jackson Meeker (18/07/1847 - 21/05/1914)

The paternal relationship between Jonathan Jackson Meeker and his son Ernest Meeker is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant SS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SS and other confirmed descendants of Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SS descends from Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through Jonathan Jackson Meeker and his son Ernest Meeker, the presence of significant shared DNA between SS and other known descendants of Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through Jonathan Jackson Meeker to Ernest Meeker, and ultimately to SS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
