The paternal relationship between Daniel Earl Stonecipher and his DNA tested daughter DS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DS and other confirmed descendants of
Joseph Stonecypher/
Julia Ann Watson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DS descends from Joseph Stonecypher/Julia Ann Watson through Daniel Earl Stonecipher, the presence of significant shared DNA between DS and other known descendants of Joseph Stonecypher/Julia Ann Watson validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Joseph Stonecypher/Julia Ann Watson through Daniel Earl Stonecipher to DS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
