The paternal relationship between Bruce Harmon Lake and his son Lewis Lyle Lake is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LL2.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LL2 and other confirmed descendants of Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LL2 descends from Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt through Bruce Harmon Lake and his son Lewis Lyle Lake, the presence of significant shared DNA between LL2 and other known descendants of Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt through Bruce Harmon Lake to Lewis Lyle Lake, and ultimately to LL2, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
