John Wesley Murphy (25 nov 1889 - 3 mar 1967)

The proposed relationship of John Wesley Murphy as the father of WDM and Cletis Dee Murphy is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a great aunt / uncle relationship between DS (a descendant of the Cletis Dee Murphy ancestral line) and BM (a descendant of the WDM ancestral line) with a shared segment of 1008.46 cM across 32 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
