The paternal relationship between Thomas Bowles and his son Hanson Bowles 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 TB/BS is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JKH descends from TB/BS through Thomas Bowles and his son Hanson Bowles, the presence of significant shared DNA between JKH and other known descendants of TB/BS validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple TB/BS through Thomas Bowles to Hanson Bowles, and ultimately to JKH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
