Clegg and Horn share a 15.4 cM segment from 7957910 to 15962947. Clegg's brother, Larry Stephenson GEDmatch A957320, also triangulates into this segment on Chromosome 16. He shares 9 cM with McDaniel and 14 cM with Horn.

Paternal relationship is confirmed by a Total of segments > 7 cM = 3,586.4 cM match between Larry Stephenson and his daughter, Beth, via GEDMatch comparison. Comparing Kit A957320 (Larry Stephenson) and A551014 (Elizabeth Stephenson). Also, AncestryDNA matching comes up as Parent/Child match.
