The paternal relationship between Roy Willard 'Budge' Hennesy and his son Willard 'Dean' Hennesy is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AS and other confirmed descendants of Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AS descends from Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton through Roy Willard 'Budge' Hennesy and his son Willard 'Dean' Hennesy, the presence of significant shared DNA between AS 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 Roy Willard 'Budge' Hennesy to Willard 'Dean' Hennesy, and ultimately to AS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
