The maternal relationship between Ina Cleo Wallace and her son
Venice Edrin Pennington is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JPS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JPS and other confirmed descendants of
Benjamin Sr Coe/
Rachel Prudden is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JPS descends from Benjamin Sr Coe/Rachel Prudden through Ina Cleo Wallace and her son Venice Edrin Pennington, the presence of significant shared DNA between JPS and other known descendants of Benjamin Sr Coe/Rachel Prudden validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Benjamin Sr Coe/Rachel Prudden through Ina Cleo Wallace to Venice Edrin Pennington, and ultimately to JPS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
