Allen H. Ricker (1842 - )
The paternal relationship between Allen H. Ricker and his daughter
Dana Tilta Ricker is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DE.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DE and other confirmed descendants of
George Ricker/
Elizabeth Sweat is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DE descends from George Ricker/Elizabeth Sweat through Allen H. Ricker and his daughter Dana Tilta Ricker, the presence of significant shared DNA between DE and other known descendants of George Ricker/Elizabeth Sweat validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple George Ricker/Elizabeth Sweat through Allen H. Ricker to Dana Tilta Ricker, and ultimately to DE, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
