The paternal relationship between Daries Oliver Griggs and his daughter
Maxine Elliott Griggs is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LG.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LG and other confirmed descendants of
James Simpson Griggs/
Malissa Hampton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LG descends from James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton through Daries Oliver Griggs and his daughter Maxine Elliott Griggs, the presence of significant shared DNA between LG and other known descendants of James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton through Daries Oliver Griggs to Maxine Elliott Griggs, and ultimately to LG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
