The paternal relationship between William BRIGHT and his daughter
Susan Reesby BRIGHT is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RJG.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RJG and other confirmed descendants of
Edmund BRIGHT/
Mary KNIGHTON is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RJG descends from Edmund BRIGHT/Mary KNIGHTON through William BRIGHT and his daughter Susan Reesby BRIGHT, the presence of significant shared DNA between RJG and other known descendants of Edmund BRIGHT/Mary KNIGHTON validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Edmund BRIGHT/Mary KNIGHTON through William BRIGHT to Susan Reesby BRIGHT, and ultimately to RJG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
