The maternal relationship between Anna Evalena Carpenter and her son
Earl Lee Hoover is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant GK.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between GK and other confirmed descendants of
John Carpenter/
Elizabeth Jane Higginbottom is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since GK descends from John Carpenter/Elizabeth Jane Higginbottom through Anna Evalena Carpenter and her son Earl Lee Hoover, the presence of significant shared DNA between GK and other known descendants of John Carpenter/Elizabeth Jane Higginbottom validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Carpenter/Elizabeth Jane Higginbottom through Anna Evalena Carpenter to Earl Lee Hoover, and ultimately to GK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
