John Kolb (28 Mar 1808 - ABT 1891)

The paternal relationship between John Kolb and his son George Washington Culp is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KMC.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KMC and other confirmed descendants of Balthasar Kolb/Elizabeth Moyer is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KMC descends from Balthasar Kolb/Elizabeth Moyer through John Kolb and his son George Washington Culp, the presence of significant shared DNA between KMC and other known descendants of Balthasar Kolb/Elizabeth Moyer validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Balthasar Kolb/Elizabeth Moyer through John Kolb to George Washington Culp, and ultimately to KMC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
