Martha Taggart (1899 - 1978)

The maternal relationship between Martha Taggart and her son RB is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LB.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LB and other confirmed descendants of HB/Malinda Tolbert is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LB descends from HB/Malinda Tolbert through Martha Taggart and her son RB, the presence of significant shared DNA between LB and other known descendants of HB/Malinda Tolbert validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple HB/Malinda Tolbert through Martha Taggart to RB, and ultimately to LB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
