John Hampton (ABT 1812 - ABT 1907)

The proposed relationship of John Hampton as the father of Malissa Hampton and James M. Hampton 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 Malissa Hampton ancestral line) and BH (a descendant of the James M. Hampton ancestral line) with a shared segment of 9.51 cM across 1 HIR segments.

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