Timothy Meeker (1708 - 22/12/1798)

The proposed relationship of Timothy Meeker as the father of William Meeker and Jonathan 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.
