Virginia Matson (1922 - 1989)

The maternal relationship between Virginia Matson and her son FW is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant FW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between FW and other confirmed descendants of Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since FW descends from Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest through Virginia Matson and her son FW, the presence of significant shared DNA between FW and other known descendants of Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest through Virginia Matson to FW, and ultimately to FW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
