The paternal relationship between James Kenneth Watson and his DNA tested son WJW is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between WJW and other confirmed descendants of
James Fulton Hatcher/
Catherine Elizabeth Martin is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since WJW descends from James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin through James Kenneth Watson, the presence of significant shared DNA between WJW and other known descendants of James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin through James Kenneth Watson to WJW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
