The paternal relationship between Almon Benjamin Norris and his son John Manley Norris is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TN.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TN and other confirmed descendants of Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TN descends from Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts through Almon Benjamin Norris and his son John Manley Norris, the presence of significant shared DNA between TN and other known descendants of Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts through Almon Benjamin Norris to John Manley Norris, and ultimately to TN, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
