Benjamin Lawrence Sr (13 May 1942 - 13 Apr 2020)
The paternal relationship between Benjamin Lawrence Sr and his DNA tested son JL is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JL and other confirmed descendants of WC is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JL descends from WC through Benjamin Lawrence Sr, the presence of significant shared DNA between JL and other known descendants of WC validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA WC through Benjamin Lawrence Sr to JL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
