Research Notes

• Maternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between David Gardner and his third cousin twice removed KNS. Their most-recent common ancestor is David’s 2nd great grandfather and KNS’s 4th great grandfather, Stephen Weathers. The predicted relationship from AncestryDNA is 5th - 8th cousins, based on sharing 7 cM across 1 segment. When a third match is found on this segment, the resulting triangulation will provide DNA verification. The significance of this match is it shows Stephen Weathers of Campbell Co, GA in 1840 is the same person as Stephen Weathers of Coosa Co, AL in 1860.
