The maternal relationship between Ruby Virginia Scott and her son EBC is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant EC.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between EC and other confirmed descendants of
William Ballard/
Elizabeth Steppe is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since EC descends from William Ballard/Elizabeth Steppe through Ruby Virginia Scott and her son EBC, the presence of significant shared DNA between EC and other known descendants of William Ballard/Elizabeth Steppe validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple William Ballard/Elizabeth Steppe through Ruby Virginia Scott to EBC, and ultimately to EC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
