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