William Merrill Bowman (1893 - 1944)
The paternal relationship between William Merrill Bowman and his DNA tested daughter CB is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CB and other confirmed descendants of TP/MJ is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CB descends from TP/MJ through William Merrill Bowman, the presence of significant shared DNA between CB and other known descendants of TP/MJ validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple TP/MJ through William Merrill Bowman to CB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
