The paternal relationship between Henry Cyrus Peck and his daughter
Viola May Peck is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant FW.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between FW and other confirmed descendants of
Philo W Peck/
Sarah Ann Priest is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since FW descends from Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest through Henry Cyrus Peck and his daughter Viola May Peck, the presence of significant shared DNA between FW and other known descendants of Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest through Henry Cyrus Peck to Viola May Peck, and ultimately to FW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
