The paternal relationship between Gene C. Hill and his daughter JM is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JM.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JM and other confirmed descendants of Amos Mount/Nancy Kirby is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JM descends from Amos Mount/Nancy Kirby through Gene C. Hill and his daughter JM, the presence of significant shared DNA between JM and other known descendants of Amos Mount/Nancy Kirby validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Amos Mount/Nancy Kirby through Gene C. Hill to JM, and ultimately to JM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
