The paternal relationship between Joseph Lawrence McAndrews and his daughter Elizabeth Kathleen McAndrews is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant EL.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between EL and other confirmed descendants of John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since EL descends from John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter through Joseph Lawrence McAndrews and his daughter Elizabeth Kathleen McAndrews, the presence of significant shared DNA between EL and other known descendants of John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter through Joseph Lawrence McAndrews to Elizabeth Kathleen McAndrews, and ultimately to EL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
