The maternal relationship between Christina Bennett and her son
Morris Smalls J is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JMB.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JMB and other confirmed descendants of WC is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JMB descends from WC through Christina Bennett and her son Morris Smalls J, the presence of significant shared DNA between JMB and other known descendants of WC validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA WC through Christina Bennett to Morris Smalls J, and ultimately to JMB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
