Desire Cory (1720 - 25/06/1793)

The proposed relationship of Desire Cory as the mother of Jonathan Meeker and William Meeker is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between TC (a descendant of the William Meeker ancestral line) and MC (a descendant of the Jonathan Meeker ancestral line) with a shared segment of 20.29 cM across 1 HIR segments.

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