Elizabeth Sweat (1786 - 1860)

The proposed relationship of Elizabeth Sweat as the mother of Eva Ricker and William Ricker is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between MC (a descendant of the Eva Ricker ancestral line) and DE (a descendant of the William Ricker ancestral line) with a shared segment of 22.98 cM across 1 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
