George Washington Pollard
(1860 - 1941)
The paternal relationship between George Washington Pollard and his son
Herbert Charles Pollard is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RP.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RP and other confirmed descendants of
Jesse Carlisle Pollard/
Julia Weatherford is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RP descends from Jesse Carlisle Pollard/Julia Weatherford through George Washington Pollard and his son Herbert Charles Pollard, the presence of significant shared DNA between RP and other known descendants of Jesse Carlisle Pollard/Julia Weatherford validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jesse Carlisle Pollard/Julia Weatherford through George Washington Pollard to Herbert Charles Pollard, and ultimately to RP, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
