The maternal relationship between Lillian May Carner and her daughter
Lelah May West is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant FL.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between FL and other confirmed descendants of
Joseph Stonecypher/
Julia Ann Watson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since FL descends from Joseph Stonecypher/Julia Ann Watson through Lillian May Carner and her daughter Lelah May West, the presence of significant shared DNA between FL and other known descendants of Joseph Stonecypher/Julia Ann Watson validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Joseph Stonecypher/Julia Ann Watson through Lillian May Carner to Lelah May West, and ultimately to FL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
