The proposed relationship of Hanson Bowles as the father of
Mary Luna Bowles and
Jessie Bowles is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.
Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 2nd cousin, once removed relationship between JKH (a descendant of the Mary Luna Bowles ancestral line) and LB (a descendant of the Jessie Bowles ancestral line) with 149.80 cM of shared DNA across 5 HIR segments.
This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
