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