The paternal relationship between Jess W. Stover and his daughter MMS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant HJ.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between HJ and other confirmed descendants of Robert Phillips/Phebe is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since HJ descends from Robert Phillips/Phebe through Jess W. Stover and his daughter MMS, the presence of significant shared DNA between HJ and other known descendants of Robert Phillips/Phebe validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Robert Phillips/Phebe through Jess W. Stover to MMS, and ultimately to HJ, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
