The proposed relationship of Molsey Gibbs as the mother of
Susan Simmons,
Lula Simmons and
Lincoln Albert Simmons is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.
Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between JL (a descendant of the Susan Simmons ancestral line) and CC (a descendant of the Lula Simmons ancestral line) with 38.43 cM of shared DNA across 2 HIR segments.
It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between LT (a descendant of the Lincoln Albert Simmons ancestral line) and JL (a descendant of the Susan Simmons ancestral line) with 30.22 cM of shared DNA across 2 HIR segments.
These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
