David M Stonecipher (15 Dec 1848 - 12 Jul 1933)

The proposed relationship of David M Stonecipher as the father of John Wesley Stonecipher and William Stonecipher is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between BR (a descendant of the William Stonecipher ancestral line) and DS (a descendant of the John Wesley Stonecipher ancestral line) with 62.46 cM of shared DNA across 3 HIR segments.

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