Beaty Phillips (1796 - 1842)

The paternal relationship between Beaty Phillips and his daughter Minerva R. Phillips is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant HD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between HD and other confirmed descendants of Robert Phillips/Phebe is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since HD descends from Robert Phillips/Phebe through Beaty Phillips and his daughter Minerva R. Phillips, the presence of significant shared DNA between HD 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 Beaty Phillips to Minerva R. Phillips, and ultimately to HD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
