The proposed relationship of Elizabeth Jane Higginbottom as the mother of
Edward S. Carpenter,
Jesse D. 'Luke' Carpenter,
William Thomas Carpenter and
David R. Carpenter is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.
Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, twice removed relationship between JB (a descendant of the Edward S. Carpenter ancestral line) and JM (a descendant of the Jesse D. 'Luke' Carpenter ancestral line) with 144.98 cM of shared DNA across 7 HIR segments.
It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between TC (a descendant of the Edward S. Carpenter ancestral line) and CM (a descendant of the William Thomas Carpenter ancestral line) with 42.55 cM of shared DNA across 3 HIR segments.
It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between CP (a descendant of the David R. Carpenter ancestral line) and RDC (a descendant of the Edward S. Carpenter ancestral line) with 70.84 cM of shared DNA across 3 HIR segments.
It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between MS (a descendant of the Jesse D. 'Luke' Carpenter ancestral line) and CP (a descendant of the David R. Carpenter ancestral line) with 40.74 cM of shared DNA across 2 HIR segments.
These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
Further support for shared ancestry within the Edward S. Carpenter, Jesse D. 'Luke' Carpenter, William Thomas Carpenter and David R. Carpenter lines is provided by an additional 29 DNA confirmed relationships among other tested descendants tracing back to these lines.
