DNA

• Paternal relationship is confirmed by the MyHeritage chromosome browser for a validated triangulated segment on Chromosome 4 of 9.8 cM (4480 SNPS) from 15881856 – 24405145 (rs2532082 – rs79242637) between distant cousins E. Larson, A. Witt, and B. Witt. MRCA couple is John Witt and Lucy (Unknown) Witt (abt.1720-aft.1782).
• Paternal relationship is confirmed on MyHeritage by a triangulated 13.3 cM segment on chromosome 6 from 131624204 to 142971133 (rs1407530 – rs116810941, 5760 SNPs). MRCAs are John Witt and Lucy (Unknown) Witt (abt.1720-aft.1782) with DNA matches from descendants E. Larson (5GGD), Westlake-546 (6GGD), and FVH (Variable). E. Larson and Westlake-546 are descended from son William E. Witt. FVH is descended from son David Witt two or three different ways, so the specific inheritance pathway of that leg is unestablished (but all through David).
• Maternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group on 23andMe who share a 21.45 cM segment on chromosome 5, consisting of J. Hornbacher and Hieronymus-93, his 6C, and PK, his 6C1R. Their most-recent common ancestors are Thomas Baber and Elizabeth, the 5x great grandparents of both J. Hornbacher and Hieronymus-93 and 6x great grandparents of PK. From their children, J. Hornbacher is a descendant of Mildred, Hieronymus-93 of Margaret, and PK of Stanley
