The maternal relationship between Edith Eloise Morford and her son
Benard N. Sutfin is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TS and other confirmed descendants of
Abram Tompkins/
Mary Ann Eaton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TS descends from Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton through Edith Eloise Morford and her son Benard N. Sutfin, the presence of significant shared DNA between TS and other known descendants of Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Abram Tompkins/Mary Ann Eaton through Edith Eloise Morford to Benard N. Sutfin, and ultimately to TS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
