    The paternal relationship between Daniel Dodd and his son Ithiel Dodd is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CDC.

    The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CDC and other confirmed descendants of Thomas Axtell/Mary Tuttle is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CDC descends from Thomas Axtell/Mary Tuttle through Daniel Dodd and his son Ithiel Dodd, the presence of significant shared DNA between CDC and other known descendants of Thomas Axtell/Mary Tuttle validates the generational links along this paternal line.

    This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Thomas Axtell/Mary Tuttle through Daniel Dodd to Ithiel Dodd, and ultimately to CDC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
