Chalon Meeker (1803 - 1877)

The proposed relationship of Chalon Meeker as the father of Amanda Meeker and Thomas J. Meeker 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 Thomas J. Meeker ancestral line) and KM (a descendant of the Amanda Meeker ancestral line) with a shared segment of 22.56 cM across 2 HIR segments.

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