Margaret Lukens (1812 - 1873)

The maternal relationship between Margaret Lukens and her son William Jackson Walker is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CK.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CK and other confirmed descendants of Abraham Tyson Lukens/Mary Marle is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CK descends from Abraham Tyson Lukens/Mary Marle through Margaret Lukens and her son William Jackson Walker, the presence of significant shared DNA between CK and other known descendants of Abraham Tyson Lukens/Mary Marle validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Abraham Tyson Lukens/Mary Marle through Margaret Lukens to William Jackson Walker, and ultimately to CK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
