The maternal relationship between Sarah Ann Bean and her son
Floyd Kessinger is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KS and other confirmed descendants of IW/ED is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KS descends from IW/ED through Sarah Ann Bean and her son Floyd Kessinger, the presence of significant shared DNA between KS and other known descendants of IW/ED validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple IW/ED through Sarah Ann Bean to Floyd Kessinger, and ultimately to KS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
