Juanita Lorene (Nita) Smith Stigall (20 May 1927 - 25 Aug 1991)

The maternal relationship between Juanita Lorene (Nita) Smith Stigall and her daughter ECS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant ECS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between ECS and other confirmed descendants of John C Wright/Rachel Wells is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since ECS descends from John C Wright/Rachel Wells through Juanita Lorene (Nita) Smith Stigall and her daughter ECS, the presence of significant shared DNA between ECS and other known descendants of John C Wright/Rachel Wells validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John C Wright/Rachel Wells through Juanita Lorene (Nita) Smith Stigall to ECS, and ultimately to ECS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
