The paternal relationship between Dennis Owen Carpenter and his DNA tested son DC is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DC and other confirmed descendants of
William Jarvis/
Elizabeth Dillon is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DC descends from William Jarvis/Elizabeth Dillon through Dennis Owen Carpenter, the presence of significant shared DNA between DC and other known descendants of William Jarvis/Elizabeth Dillon validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple William Jarvis/Elizabeth Dillon through Dennis Owen Carpenter to DC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
