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