The maternal relationship between Leah Harriette Stockton and her son
William Eugene Betts is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DB.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DB and other confirmed descendants of
Abram Tompkins/
Mary Ann Eaton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DB descends from Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton through Leah Harriette Stockton and her son William Eugene Betts, the presence of significant shared DNA between DB and other known descendants of Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton through Leah Harriette Stockton to William Eugene Betts, and ultimately to DB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
