The paternal relationship between Arthur Hamilton Hines and his son
Warren Coolidge Hines is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant PH.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between PH and other confirmed descendants of
George Hines/
Catherine A Zone is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since PH descends from George Hines/Catherine A Zone through Arthur Hamilton Hines and his son Warren Coolidge Hines, the presence of significant shared DNA between PH and other known descendants of George Hines/Catherine A Zone validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple George Hines/Catherine A Zone through Arthur Hamilton Hines to Warren Coolidge Hines, and ultimately to PH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
