The maternal relationship between Bonnie Lee Hikes and her son JDW is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CW and other confirmed descendants of Charles Edward Wilson/Sarah Jane Lee is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CW descends from Charles Edward Wilson/Sarah Jane Lee through Bonnie Lee Hikes and her son JDW, the presence of significant shared DNA between CW and other known descendants of Charles Edward Wilson/Sarah Jane Lee validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Charles Edward Wilson/Sarah Jane Lee through Bonnie Lee Hikes to JDW, and ultimately to CW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
