Christiana Heffilfinger (1792 - 31/05/1872)

The proposed relationship of Christiana Heffilfinger as the mother of Jacob Carner and Sophia Carner is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between MC (a descendant of the Jacob Carner ancestral line) and SS (a descendant of the Sophia Carner ancestral line) with a shared segment of 41.37 cM across 2 HIR segments.

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