The paternal relationship between Otho John Stonecipher and his son
Daniel Earl Stonecipher is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DS and other confirmed descendants of
Joseph Stonecypher/
Julia Ann Watson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DS descends from Joseph Stonecypher/Julia Ann Watson through Otho John Stonecipher and his son Daniel Earl Stonecipher, the presence of significant shared DNA between DS and other known descendants of Joseph Stonecypher/Julia Ann Watson validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Joseph Stonecypher/Julia Ann Watson through Otho John Stonecipher to Daniel Earl Stonecipher, and ultimately to DS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
