The paternal relationship between John Cable and his son EC is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JKH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JKH and other confirmed descendants of AC/SS is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JKH descends from AC/SS through John Cable and his son EC, the presence of significant shared DNA between JKH and other known descendants of AC/SS validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple AC/SS through John Cable to EC, and ultimately to JKH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
