The paternal relationship between Bobby Lewis Meeker and his DNA tested daughter MM is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MM and other confirmed descendants of
Abram Tompkins/
Mary Ann Eaton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MM descends from Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton through Bobby Lewis Meeker, the presence of significant shared DNA between MM and other known descendants of Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton through Bobby Lewis Meeker to MM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
