The paternal relationship between Thomas Mount and his son
Ralph Mount is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant PT.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between PT and other confirmed descendants of
Samuel Mount/
Patience Dye is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since PT descends from Samuel Mount/Patience Dye through Thomas Mount and his son Ralph Mount, the presence of significant shared DNA between PT and other known descendants of Samuel Mount/Patience Dye validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Samuel Mount/Patience Dye through Thomas Mount to Ralph Mount, and ultimately to PT, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
