The paternal relationship between Leonard Marlin Young and his daughter Margeret Esther Young is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KEA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KEA and other confirmed descendants of Daniel Wilson/Sarah Ann Combs is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KEA descends from Daniel Wilson/Sarah Ann Combs through Leonard Marlin Young and his daughter Margeret Esther Young, the presence of significant shared DNA between KEA and other known descendants of Daniel Wilson/Sarah Ann Combs validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Daniel Wilson/Sarah Ann Combs through Leonard Marlin Young to Margeret Esther Young, and ultimately to KEA, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
