The paternal relationship between Lincoln Albert Simmons and his son Lincoln Simmons Jr is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LT.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LT and other confirmed descendants of Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LT descends from Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs through Lincoln Albert Simmons and his son Lincoln Simmons Jr, the presence of significant shared DNA between LT and other known descendants of Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs through Lincoln Albert Simmons to Lincoln Simmons Jr, and ultimately to LT, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
