Harold F Matson

The paternal relationship between Harold F Matson and his daughter Virginia Matson is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant FW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between FW and other confirmed descendants of Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since FW descends from Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest through Harold F Matson and his daughter Virginia Matson, the presence of significant shared DNA between FW and other known descendants of Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest through Harold F Matson to Virginia Matson, and ultimately to FW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
