Hannah Vaughn
(02/10/1803 - 09/08/1840)
The maternal relationship between Hannah Vaughn and her son
Ithiel Dodd is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CDC.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CDC and other confirmed descendants of
Jacob Vaughn/
Elizabeth Robins is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CDC descends from Jacob Vaughn/Elizabeth Robins through Hannah Vaughn and her son Ithiel Dodd, the presence of significant shared DNA between CDC and other known descendants of Jacob Vaughn/Elizabeth Robins validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob Vaughn/Elizabeth Robins through Hannah Vaughn to Ithiel Dodd, and ultimately to CDC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
