Jo Anne Clark (10/04/1935 - 01/12/1963)

The maternal relationship between Jo Anne Clark and her DNA tested son JCH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JCH and other confirmed descendants of Thomas Boswell Ratliff/Sarah A. Henderson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JCH descends from Thomas Boswell Ratliff/Sarah A. Henderson through Jo Anne Clark, the presence of significant shared DNA between JCH and other known descendants of Thomas Boswell Ratliff/Sarah A. Henderson validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Thomas Boswell Ratliff/Sarah A. Henderson through Jo Anne Clark to JCH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
