Jacob Fletcher Waddill (06/04/1840 - 07/05/1917)

The paternal relationship between Jacob Fletcher Waddill and his son David Dee Sherman Waddill is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AH and other confirmed descendants of John Waddill/Delilah Phillips is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AH descends from John Waddill/Delilah Phillips through Jacob Fletcher Waddill and his son David Dee Sherman Waddill, the presence of significant shared DNA between AH and other known descendants of John Waddill/Delilah Phillips validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Waddill/Delilah Phillips through Jacob Fletcher Waddill to David Dee Sherman Waddill, and ultimately to AH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
