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 Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since GK descends from Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House through Anna Evalena Carpenter and her son Earl Lee Hoover, the presence of significant shared DNA between GK and other known descendants of Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House through Anna Evalena Carpenter to Earl Lee Hoover, and ultimately to GK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
