The paternal relationship between Andrew Charles Gray and his daughter
Emma P. Gray is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant B.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between B and other confirmed descendants of
Ralph Higginbotham/
Susannah Watson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since B descends from Ralph Higginbotham/Susannah Watson through Andrew Charles Gray and his daughter Emma P. Gray, the presence of significant shared DNA between B and other known descendants of Ralph Higginbotham/Susannah Watson validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Ralph Higginbotham/Susannah Watson through Andrew Charles Gray to Emma P. Gray, and ultimately to B, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
