Catherine A Zone
(ABT 1840 - ABT 1916)
The proposed relationship of Catherine A Zone as the mother of
Andrew Hamilton Hines,
Clifford Raymond Hines and
William Nolan Hines is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.
Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between RLB (a descendant of the Clifford Raymond Hines ancestral line) and PH (a descendant of the Andrew Hamilton Hines ancestral line) with 35.89 cM of shared DNA across 3 HIR segments.
It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between DE (a descendant of the William Nolan Hines ancestral line) and RLB (a descendant of the Clifford Raymond Hines ancestral line) with 37.98 cM of shared DNA across 3 HIR segments.
These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
