The paternal relationship between Carrol Autumn 'Red' Manary and his son
Dennis Carroll Manary is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LM.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LM and other confirmed descendants of
George Ricker/
Elizabeth Sweat is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LM descends from George Ricker/Elizabeth Sweat through Carrol Autumn 'Red' Manary and his son Dennis Carroll Manary, the presence of significant shared DNA between LM and other known descendants of George Ricker/Elizabeth Sweat validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple George Ricker/Elizabeth Sweat through Carrol Autumn 'Red' Manary to Dennis Carroll Manary, and ultimately to LM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
