The paternal relationship between Albert Ward Meeker and his son LRH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant BH.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between BH and other confirmed descendants of
Lathrop Meeker/
Sophronia Maria Tompkins is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since BH descends from Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins through Albert Ward Meeker and his son LRH, the presence of significant shared DNA between BH and other known descendants of Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins through Albert Ward Meeker to LRH, and ultimately to BH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
