DNA

• Paternal and maternal relationships are confirmed by a GEDmatch test match between Dianne Dearring GEDmatch A644121 and her 1C, BLB, and her 1C1R, EBR. Their MRCAs are William Andrew Burchett & Alta Caroline Caudill. Estimated number of generations to MRCA = 2 and 2.7, based on sharing 856 cM across 32 segments and 323 cMs across 16 shared segments.
• Maternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group on GEDmatch consisting of GB GEDmatch A758873, HB GEDmach GX9156860, and SNO GEDmatch WN1777063, who share a 22.4 cM segment on chromosome 4. The most-recent common ancestors shared by all three are Col. John Van Hoose and Mary Bryan.
• Maternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group on GEDmatch consisting of GB GEDmatch A758873, F Lewis and LS GEDmatch A157601, who share a 15.2 cM segment on chromosome 10. The most-recent common ancestors shared by all three are Nathaniel Preston and Elizabeth (Vaughn) Preston.
• DNA: Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. Michael Burchett, FTDNA kit #1009005, and his half 3rd cousin, BM, FTDNA kit #?, match at a Genetic Distance of 1 on 37 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA John Rand Merrit. Based on a Genetic Distance of 1 at the Y-37 test level, Michael Burchett and B.M. are estimated to share a common paternal line ancestor who was, with a 95% probability, born between 1450 and 1900 CE.
• DNA: Paternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group on GEDmatch consisting of Living Dearring, TrSc, KaKa, and Susan (Scott) Bischoff, who share a 32.2 cM segment on chromosome 4. The most-recent common ancestor shared by all four is John Rand Merritt.
