James PAICE (ABT 1816 - 14 Aug 1892)

The paternal relationship between James PAICE and his daughter Abigail PAICE is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant Joan Patricia ROBERTS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between Joan Patricia ROBERTS and other confirmed descendants of Jonathan PAICE/Elizabeth SKEAT is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since Joan Patricia ROBERTS descends from Jonathan PAICE/Elizabeth SKEAT through James PAICE and his daughter Abigail PAICE, the presence of significant shared DNA between Joan Patricia ROBERTS and other known descendants of Jonathan PAICE/Elizabeth SKEAT validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jonathan PAICE/Elizabeth SKEAT through James PAICE to Abigail PAICE, and ultimately to Joan Patricia ROBERTS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
