William Meeker (1745 - 14/11/1790)

The paternal relationship between William Meeker and his son Henry Meeker is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KC.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KC and other confirmed descendants of Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KC descends from Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through William Meeker and his son Henry Meeker, the presence of significant shared DNA between KC and other known descendants of Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through William Meeker to Henry Meeker, and ultimately to KC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
