Samuel Inman (31 Aug 1841 - 28 Jan 1930)

The paternal relationship between Samuel Inman and his daughter Etta Caroline Inman is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RS and other confirmed descendants of Samuel Rudy/Salome Sally McGuire is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RS descends from Samuel Rudy/Salome Sally McGuire through Samuel Inman and his daughter Etta Caroline Inman, the presence of significant shared DNA between RS and other known descendants of Samuel Rudy/Salome Sally McGuire validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Samuel Rudy/Salome Sally McGuire through Samuel Inman to Etta Caroline Inman, and ultimately to RS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
