Duane Russell Hill (14 Sep 1931 - 03 Oct 1958)

The paternal relationship between Duane Russell Hill and his son PAH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant BH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between BH and other confirmed descendants of Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since BH descends from Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins through Duane Russell Hill and his son PAH, the presence of significant shared DNA between BH and other known descendants of Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins through Duane Russell Hill to PAH, and ultimately to BH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
