The maternal relationship between Martha Emmaline Mount and her son
Pleasant Henderson Estes is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MEP.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MEP and other confirmed descendants of
Humphrey Mount is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MEP descends from Humphrey Mount through Martha Emmaline Mount and her son Pleasant Henderson Estes, the presence of significant shared DNA between MEP and other known descendants of Humphrey Mount validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Humphrey Mount through Martha Emmaline Mount to Pleasant Henderson Estes, and ultimately to MEP, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
