The paternal relationship between Hansel King Riddle and his son GWK is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KDN.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KDN and other confirmed descendants of
James Fulton Hatcher/
Catherine Elizabeth Martin is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KDN descends from James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin through Hansel King Riddle and his son GWK, the presence of significant shared DNA between KDN 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 Hansel King Riddle to GWK, and ultimately to KDN, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
