The maternal relationship between Susan Simmons and her daughter
Carrie Mae Jenkins is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JMB.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JMB and other confirmed descendants of
Richard Simmons/
Molsey Gibbs is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JMB descends from Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs through Susan Simmons and her daughter Carrie Mae Jenkins, the presence of significant shared DNA between JMB and other known descendants of Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs through Susan Simmons to Carrie Mae Jenkins, and ultimately to JMB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
