The maternal relationship between Malissa White and her son Horace William Jr Wardell is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KLF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KLF and other confirmed descendants of Andrew White/Amy Palmer is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KLF descends from Andrew White/Amy Palmer through Malissa White and her son Horace William Jr Wardell, the presence of significant shared DNA between KLF and other known descendants of Andrew White/Amy Palmer validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Andrew White/Amy Palmer through Malissa White to Horace William Jr Wardell, and ultimately to KLF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
