The paternal relationship between Rollin Lloyd Dutro and his DNA tested son LD is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LD and other confirmed descendants of
Abram Tompkins/
Mary Ann Eaton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LD descends from Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton through Rollin Lloyd Dutro, the presence of significant shared DNA between LD and other known descendants of Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton through Rollin Lloyd Dutro to LD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
