Jonathan Cessna (1760 - 1853)

The proposed relationship of Jonathan Cessna as the father of SC and Joseph Cessna is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between KC (a descendant of the Joseph Cessna ancestral line) and GL (a descendant of the SC ancestral line) with a shared segment of 62.80 cM across 1 HIR segments.

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