The paternal relationship between Frank Mell Jones and his son EFJ is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant SB.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SB and other confirmed descendants of Seth Jones/Rachel Knight Rizor is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SB descends from Seth Jones/Rachel Knight Rizor through Frank Mell Jones and his son EFJ, the presence of significant shared DNA between SB and other known descendants of Seth Jones/Rachel Knight Rizor validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Seth Jones/Rachel Knight Rizor through Frank Mell Jones to EFJ, and ultimately to SB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
