Samuel B. Carpenter (1830 - )
The paternal relationship between Samuel B. Carpenter and his son
William Bernard Carpenter is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AV.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AV and other confirmed descendants of
Edward Carpenter is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AV descends from Edward Carpenter through Samuel B. Carpenter and his son William Bernard Carpenter, the presence of significant shared DNA between AV and other known descendants of Edward Carpenter validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Edward Carpenter through Samuel B. Carpenter to William Bernard Carpenter, and ultimately to AV, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
