Mary Ella Arnold (15 Jun 1882 - 18 Jan 1967)

The maternal relationship between Mary Ella Arnold and her son Wayne Arnold Denman is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MD and other confirmed descendants of Archibald Overby/Sarah Barnard is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MD descends from Archibald Overby/Sarah Barnard through Mary Ella Arnold and her son Wayne Arnold Denman, the presence of significant shared DNA between MD and other known descendants of Archibald Overby/Sarah Barnard validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Archibald Overby/Sarah Barnard through Mary Ella Arnold to Wayne Arnold Denman, and ultimately to MD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
