Margaret Emerson (1843 - 1908)

The maternal relationship between Margaret Emerson and her daughter Daisy Livingston is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JM.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JM and other confirmed descendants of William Emerson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JM descends from William Emerson through Margaret Emerson and her daughter Daisy Livingston, the presence of significant shared DNA between JM and other known descendants of William Emerson validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA William Emerson through Margaret Emerson to Daisy Livingston, and ultimately to JM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
