The maternal relationship between Estelle Jenkins and her DNA tested son
Benjamin Lawrence Sr is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between Benjamin Lawrence Sr and other confirmed descendants of WC is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since Benjamin Lawrence Sr descends from WC through Estelle Jenkins, the presence of significant shared DNA between Benjamin Lawrence Sr 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, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
