John Carpenter (1762 - 1832)

The paternal relationship between John Carpenter and his son Edward Carpenter is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TC.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TC and other confirmed descendants of John Carpenter/DT is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TC descends from John Carpenter/DT through John Carpenter and his son Edward Carpenter, the presence of significant shared DNA between TC 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 Carpenter to Edward Carpenter, and ultimately to TC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
