Benjamin Tribble Black (21 Mar 1889 - ABT 1951)

The paternal relationship between Benjamin Tribble Black and his daughter Mary Genevieve Black is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DLW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DLW and other confirmed descendants of Zadock Barnard/Mary Short is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DLW descends from Zadock Barnard/Mary Short through Benjamin Tribble Black and his daughter Mary Genevieve Black, the presence of significant shared DNA between DLW and other known descendants of Zadock Barnard/Mary Short validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Zadock Barnard/Mary Short through Benjamin Tribble Black to Mary Genevieve Black, and ultimately to DLW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
