Emma P. Gray (1888 - 1947)

The maternal relationship between Emma P. Gray and her son Edgar Reese Nuzum is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant B.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between B and other confirmed descendants of Ralph Higginbotham/Susannah Watson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since B descends from Ralph Higginbotham/Susannah Watson through Emma P. Gray and her son Edgar Reese Nuzum, the presence of significant shared DNA between B and other known descendants of Ralph Higginbotham/Susannah Watson validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Ralph Higginbotham/Susannah Watson through Emma P. Gray to Edgar Reese Nuzum, and ultimately to B, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
