Arleta Pearl Lunsford (14 Mar 1909 - 07 Apr 1974)

The maternal relationship between Arleta Pearl Lunsford and her son Charles Edward Bentley is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CRB.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CRB and other confirmed descendants of Abraham Hartman is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CRB descends from Abraham Hartman through Arleta Pearl Lunsford and her son Charles Edward Bentley, the presence of significant shared DNA between CRB and other known descendants of Abraham Hartman validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Abraham Hartman through Arleta Pearl Lunsford to Charles Edward Bentley, and ultimately to CRB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
