The maternal relationship between Eleanor Madie Jones and her son
Lester Curtis Richardson is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant OG.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between OG and other confirmed descendants of
Robert Brashears/
Sarah Rhea Hankins is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since OG descends from Robert Brashears/Sarah Rhea Hankins through Eleanor Madie Jones and her son Lester Curtis Richardson, the presence of significant shared DNA between OG and other known descendants of Robert Brashears/Sarah Rhea Hankins validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Robert Brashears/Sarah Rhea Hankins through Eleanor Madie Jones to Lester Curtis Richardson, and ultimately to OG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
