Leroy Burdette Carpenter (15/07/1894 - 20/09/1951)

The paternal relationship between Leroy Burdette Carpenter and his son Plynn Quentin Carpenter is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant NB.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between NB and other confirmed descendants of Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since NB descends from Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House through Leroy Burdette Carpenter and his son Plynn Quentin Carpenter, the presence of significant shared DNA between NB and other known descendants of Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House through Leroy Burdette Carpenter to Plynn Quentin Carpenter, and ultimately to NB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
