The maternal relationship between Estelle Jenkins and her son
Benjamin Lawrence Sr is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JL.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JL and other confirmed descendants of WC is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JL descends from WC through Estelle Jenkins and her son Benjamin Lawrence Sr, the presence of significant shared DNA between JL and other known descendants of WC validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA WC through Estelle Jenkins to Benjamin Lawrence Sr, and ultimately to JL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
