Ephraim C. Voorhies (08/08/1805 - )
The paternal relationship between Ephraim C. Voorhies and his daughter
Jane Voorhies is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MD.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MD and other confirmed descendants of
Rhyneer Voorhies/
Abigail Dille is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MD descends from Rhyneer Voorhies/Abigail Dille through Ephraim C. Voorhies and his daughter Jane Voorhies, the presence of significant shared DNA between MD and other known descendants of Rhyneer Voorhies/Abigail Dille validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Rhyneer Voorhies/Abigail Dille through Ephraim C. Voorhies to Jane Voorhies, and ultimately to MD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
