Amie Overby (1812 - ABT 1867)

The maternal relationship between Amie Overby and her son Nicholas Mc Kendee Short is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KS and other confirmed descendants of Nicholas Overby/Elizabeth Evette Mckinney is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KS descends from Nicholas Overby/Elizabeth Evette Mckinney through Amie Overby and her son Nicholas Mc Kendee Short, the presence of significant shared DNA between KS and other known descendants of Nicholas Overby/Elizabeth Evette Mckinney validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Nicholas Overby/Elizabeth Evette Mckinney through Amie Overby to Nicholas Mc Kendee Short, and ultimately to KS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
