Martha Patsy Rudy (ABT 1802 - ABT 1864)

The maternal relationship between Martha Patsy Rudy and her daughter Nancy Coats is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RLB.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RLB and other confirmed descendants of Samuel Rudy/Salome Sally McGuire is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RLB descends from Samuel Rudy/Salome Sally McGuire through Martha Patsy Rudy and her daughter Nancy Coats, the presence of significant shared DNA between RLB and other known descendants of Samuel Rudy/Salome Sally McGuire validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Samuel Rudy/Salome Sally McGuire through Martha Patsy Rudy to Nancy Coats, and ultimately to RLB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
