The paternal relationship between Enoch West and his son
William Enoch "will" West is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RW.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RW and other confirmed descendants of
Samuel Taylor Riddle/
Mary Ann Welch is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RW descends from Samuel Taylor Riddle/Mary Ann Welch through Enoch West and his son William Enoch "will" West, the presence of significant shared DNA between RW and other known descendants of Samuel Taylor Riddle/Mary Ann Welch validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Samuel Taylor Riddle/Mary Ann Welch through Enoch West to William Enoch "will" West, and ultimately to RW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
