Abigail Coates
(25 Dec 1803 - ABT 1889)
The maternal relationship between Abigail Coates and her son
Abraham Mott is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RLB.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RLB and other confirmed descendants of
John C Wright/
Rachel Wells is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RLB descends from John C Wright/Rachel Wells through Abigail Coates and her son Abraham Mott, the presence of significant shared DNA between RLB 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 Abigail Coates to Abraham Mott, and ultimately to RLB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
