• Floyd Kessinger ( - 1927)
    The paternal relationship between Floyd Kessinger and his daughter Cora Kessinger is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JPS.

    The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JPS and other confirmed descendants of William M Sr Bean/Rachel Wiseman is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JPS descends from William M Sr Bean/Rachel Wiseman through Floyd Kessinger and his daughter Cora Kessinger, the presence of significant shared DNA between JPS and other known descendants of William M Sr Bean/Rachel Wiseman validates the generational links along this paternal line.

    This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple William M Sr Bean/Rachel Wiseman through Floyd Kessinger to Cora Kessinger, and ultimately to JPS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
