Joseph Heber Clegg (15 Jun 1901 - 18 Jan 1982)

The paternal relationship between Joseph Heber Clegg and his daughter EDC is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JJ.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JJ and other confirmed descendants of John Murray Murdoch is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JJ descends from John Murray Murdoch through Joseph Heber Clegg and his daughter EDC, the presence of significant shared DNA between JJ and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA John Murray Murdoch through Joseph Heber Clegg to EDC, and ultimately to JJ, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
