The paternal relationship between James Jitley Norris and his daughter MN is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MN.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MN and other confirmed descendants of Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MN descends from Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts through James Jitley Norris and his daughter MN, the presence of significant shared DNA between MN 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 James Jitley Norris to MN, and ultimately to MN, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
