The maternal relationship between Cynthia Lewis and her son
Bruce Harmon Lake is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LL2.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LL2 and other confirmed descendants of
Wheeler Lewis/
Abiah Leavitt is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LL2 descends from Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt through Cynthia Lewis and her son Bruce Harmon Lake, the presence of significant shared DNA between LL2 and other known descendants of Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt through Cynthia Lewis to Bruce Harmon Lake, and ultimately to LL2, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
