David Eaton Henderson (18/08/1770 - 1826)

The proposed relationship of David Eaton Henderson as the father of Sarah A. Henderson, Mary H. Henderson and Silas Miller Henderson is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between CDC (a descendant of the Sarah A. Henderson ancestral line) and MM (a descendant of the Mary H. Henderson ancestral line) with a shared segment of 38.29 cM across 3 HIR segments.

It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between MM2 (a descendant of the Silas Miller Henderson ancestral line) and CDC (a descendant of the Sarah A. Henderson ancestral line) with a shared segment of 21.22 cM across 1 HIR segments.

These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
