The paternal relationship between Palmer Perry and his daughter Marilla Perry is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MS and other confirmed descendants of David Perry/Martha Hamilton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MS descends from David Perry/Martha Hamilton through Palmer Perry and his daughter Marilla Perry, the presence of significant shared DNA between MS and other known descendants of David Perry/Martha Hamilton validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple David Perry/Martha Hamilton through Palmer Perry to Marilla Perry, and ultimately to MS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
