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