Mary Elizabeth Overby (ABT 1830 - 13 Mar 1898)

The maternal relationship between Mary Elizabeth Overby and her daughter Anna Elizabeth Burton is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MD and other confirmed descendants of Nicholas Overby/Elizabeth Evette Mckinney is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MD descends from Nicholas Overby/Elizabeth Evette Mckinney through Mary Elizabeth Overby and her daughter Anna Elizabeth Burton, the presence of significant shared DNA between MD 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 Mary Elizabeth Overby to Anna Elizabeth Burton, and ultimately to MD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
