The proposed relationship of Henry Reuben Morris as the father of Harry William Morris and Elsie Jeanette Morris is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 1st cousin, once removed relationship between DR (a descendant of the Elsie Jeanette Morris ancestral line) and JM (a descendant of the Harry William Morris ancestral line) with a shared segment of 413.92 cM across 15 HIR segments.

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