The maternal relationship between Zoe Ellen Rorabaugh and her daughter Dorothy Mae Allen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant SK.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SK and other confirmed descendants of John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SK descends from John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter through Zoe Ellen Rorabaugh and her daughter Dorothy Mae Allen, the presence of significant shared DNA between SK and other known descendants of John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter through Zoe Ellen Rorabaugh to Dorothy Mae Allen, and ultimately to SK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
