The maternal relationship between Martha Ellen Pollard and her son
Steven Matthew Estes 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
Humphrey Mount is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KS descends from Humphrey Mount through Martha Ellen Pollard and her son Steven Matthew Estes, the presence of significant shared DNA between KS and other known descendants of Humphrey Mount validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Humphrey Mount through Martha Ellen Pollard to Steven Matthew Estes, and ultimately to KS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
