The paternal relationship between Andrew Jackson "jack" Hatcher Jr and his DNA tested son AH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AH and other confirmed descendants of
James Fulton Hatcher/
Catherine Elizabeth Martin is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AH descends from James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin through Andrew Jackson "jack" Hatcher Jr, the presence of significant shared DNA between AH and other known descendants of James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin through Andrew Jackson "jack" Hatcher Jr to AH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
