Albert Ward Meeker (13 Oct 1879 - ABT 1936)

The proposed relationship of Albert Ward Meeker as the father of Talbert 'Tab' Lathrop Hill and LRH is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 2nd cousin, once removed relationship between BH (a descendant of the LRH ancestral line) and JM (a descendant of the Talbert 'Tab' Lathrop Hill ancestral line) with a shared segment of 169.06 cM across 6 HIR segments.

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