The paternal relationship between Hiram Duel Peet and his daughter Vivian Jean Peet is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant HC.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between HC and other confirmed descendants of George William Peet/Jeanie Taylor Smith is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since HC descends from George William Peet/Jeanie Taylor Smith through Hiram Duel Peet and his daughter Vivian Jean Peet, the presence of significant shared DNA between HC and other known descendants of George William Peet/Jeanie Taylor Smith validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple George William Peet/Jeanie Taylor Smith through Hiram Duel Peet to Vivian Jean Peet, and ultimately to HC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
