The paternal relationship between Robert Washington Brashers and his son
Charles H Brashers is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CL.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CL and other confirmed descendants of
Dioclesion W Brashears/
Sarah Ann Buck is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CL descends from Dioclesion W Brashears/Sarah Ann Buck through Robert Washington Brashers and his son Charles H Brashers, the presence of significant shared DNA between CL and other known descendants of Dioclesion W Brashears/Sarah Ann Buck validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Dioclesion W Brashears/Sarah Ann Buck through Robert Washington Brashers to Charles H Brashers, and ultimately to CL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
