Arthur James KING (1869 - AFT ABT 1911)

The paternal relationship between Arthur James KING and his daughter Marie KING is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JAN.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JAN and other confirmed descendants of William KING/Maria HARTLAND is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JAN descends from William KING/Maria HARTLAND through Arthur James KING and his daughter Marie KING, the presence of significant shared DNA between JAN and other known descendants of William KING/Maria HARTLAND validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple William KING/Maria HARTLAND through Arthur James KING to Marie KING, and ultimately to JAN, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
