The paternal relationship between Matthias Maurle Lukens and his son
Jacob Lukens is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant
LaVere Lukens.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LaVere Lukens and other confirmed descendants of
Abraham Tyson Lukens/
Mary Marle is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LaVere Lukens descends from Abraham Tyson Lukens/Mary Marle through Matthias Maurle Lukens and his son Jacob Lukens, the presence of significant shared DNA between LaVere Lukens and other known descendants of Abraham Tyson Lukens/Mary Marle validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Abraham Tyson Lukens/Mary Marle through Matthias Maurle Lukens to Jacob Lukens, and ultimately to LaVere Lukens, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
