The paternal relationship between John Cloud Grubbs and his daughter
Elsie Elma Grubbs is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DL.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DL and other confirmed descendants of
Ambrose Austen/
Susannah Beard is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DL descends from Ambrose Austen/Susannah Beard through John Cloud Grubbs and his daughter Elsie Elma Grubbs, the presence of significant shared DNA between DL and other known descendants of Ambrose Austen/Susannah Beard validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Ambrose Austen/Susannah Beard through John Cloud Grubbs to Elsie Elma Grubbs, and ultimately to DL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
