The paternal relationship between Nathaniel Wolcott and his son Nathaniel Wolcott is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DL.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DL and other confirmed descendants of Samuel Wolcott/Mary Wyatt is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DL descends from Samuel Wolcott/Mary Wyatt through Nathaniel Wolcott and his son Nathaniel Wolcott, the presence of significant shared DNA between DL and other known descendants of Samuel Wolcott/Mary Wyatt validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Samuel Wolcott/Mary Wyatt through Nathaniel Wolcott to Nathaniel Wolcott, and ultimately to DL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
