The proposed relationship of Whitson Pennington as the father of
Isaac Newton Pennington,
Martha Frances Pennington,
Mina Chapman Pennington,
Ruth Elendor Pennington,
Simeon Lemen Pennington and
James L Pennington is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.
Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, twice removed relationship between JPS (a descendant of the Isaac Newton Pennington ancestral line) and KD (a descendant of the Martha Frances Pennington ancestral line) with 133.83 cM of shared DNA across 5 HIR segments.
It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between JS (a descendant of the Isaac Newton Pennington ancestral line) and BM (a descendant of the Mina Chapman Pennington ancestral line) with 84.80 cM of shared DNA across 3 HIR segments.
It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between NC (a descendant of the Isaac Newton Pennington ancestral line) and LT (a descendant of the Ruth Elendor Pennington ancestral line) with 141.59 cM of shared DNA across 8 HIR segments.
It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between AF (a descendant of the Simeon Lemen Pennington ancestral line) and EN (a descendant of the Isaac Newton Pennington ancestral line) with 63.33 cM of shared DNA across 2 HIR segments.
It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between JPS (a descendant of the Isaac Newton Pennington ancestral line) and CI (a descendant of the James L Pennington ancestral line) with 52.83 cM of shared DNA across 2 HIR segments.
It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between DS (a descendant of the Mina Chapman Pennington ancestral line) and AR (a descendant of the Ruth Elendor Pennington ancestral line) with 87.54 cM of shared DNA across 4 HIR segments.
These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
Further support for shared ancestry within the Isaac Newton Pennington, Martha Frances Pennington, Mina Chapman Pennington, Ruth Elendor Pennington, Simeon Lemen Pennington and James L Pennington lines is provided by an additional 88 DNA confirmed relationships among other tested descendants tracing back to these lines.
