John Leonard Leon Carpenter (26/07/1869 - 31/07/1959)

The paternal relationship between John Leonard Leon Carpenter and his son Everett E. Carpenter is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KH and other confirmed descendants of John Carpenter/DT is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KH descends from John Carpenter/DT through John Leonard Leon Carpenter and his son Everett E. Carpenter, the presence of significant shared DNA between KH and other known descendants of John Carpenter/DT validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Carpenter/DT through John Leonard Leon Carpenter to Everett E. Carpenter, and ultimately to KH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
