The paternal relationship between Benjamin Franklin Norris and his son Almon Benjamin Norris is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TN.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TN and other confirmed descendants of Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TN descends from Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts through Benjamin Franklin Norris and his son Almon Benjamin Norris, the presence of significant shared DNA between TN and other known descendants of Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Edward Norris/Margaret T Potts through Benjamin Franklin Norris to Almon Benjamin Norris, and ultimately to TN, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
