The paternal relationship between Charles Edward Bentley and his DNA tested daughter CRB is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CRB and other confirmed descendants of
Abraham Hartman is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CRB descends from Abraham Hartman through Charles Edward Bentley, the presence of significant shared DNA between CRB and other known descendants of Abraham Hartman validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Abraham Hartman through Charles Edward Bentley to CRB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
