The maternal relationship between Viola May Peck and her son
Harold F Matson is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant FW.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between FW and other confirmed descendants of
Philo W Peck/
Sarah Ann Priest is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since FW descends from Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest through Viola May Peck and her son Harold F Matson, the presence of significant shared DNA between FW and other known descendants of Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Philo W Peck/Sarah Ann Priest through Viola May Peck to Harold F Matson, and ultimately to FW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
