Wilson Ballard Kessinger (1819 - 1892)

The paternal relationship between Wilson Ballard Kessinger and his son Floyd 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 Mathias Sr Kessinger is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JPS descends from Mathias Sr Kessinger through Wilson Ballard Kessinger and his son Floyd Kessinger, the presence of significant shared DNA between JPS and other known descendants of Mathias Sr Kessinger validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Mathias Sr Kessinger through Wilson Ballard Kessinger to Floyd Kessinger, and ultimately to JPS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
