The paternal relationship between Frederick Lawrence Sr and his son
Sam Eddie Lawrence Sr is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JL.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JL and other confirmed descendants of
Henry Lawrence/
Elizabeth Betty Bennett is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JL descends from Henry Lawrence/Elizabeth Betty Bennett through Frederick Lawrence Sr and his son Sam Eddie Lawrence Sr, the presence of significant shared DNA between JL and other known descendants of Henry Lawrence/Elizabeth Betty Bennett validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Henry Lawrence/Elizabeth Betty Bennett through Frederick Lawrence Sr to Sam Eddie Lawrence Sr, and ultimately to JL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
