Ananias is confirmed as the child of Nathan Davis by two triangulated groups. The first group consists of Thomas Fitz Randolph (GED kit M011134), Eileen Garrett (23andme) and Robert Lee Carson (GEDmatch kit M085143) sharing a 4.4 cM segment on chromosome 22 from 18,188,769 to 20,658,391 (GEDmatch analysis), and the second group consists of Thomas Fitz Randolph (GED kit M011134), Lucy Hansen (23andme) and Robert Lee Carson (GEDmatch kit M085143) sharing an approximate 18.4 cM segment on chromosome 22 from 21,335,259 to 28,015,752 (combined 23andme AFI and GEDmatch comparisons). These two discontiguous segments are both contained in a longer segment shared by Tom Randolph and Robert Lee Carson (18,180,154 28,015,752, 23.8 cM), suggesting the two triangulated segments come from the same ancestors common to all four people, and those common ancestors are identified as Thomas William Davis (1719-1795) and Tacy Crandall (1721-1795). This joint triangulation confirms that Nathan is their son and one or more of their three children Martha, Elizabeth or Mary is also their child, and possibly William G. ‘Greenbrier Billy’, but determining which will require additional triangulation.
