Lula Simmons
(ABT 1876 - 18 Jul 1955)
The maternal relationship between Lula Simmons and her daughter MG is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CC.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CC and other confirmed descendants of
Richard Simmons/
Molsey Gibbs is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CC descends from Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs through Lula Simmons and her daughter MG, the presence of significant shared DNA between CC and other known descendants of Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Richard Simmons/Molsey Gibbs through Lula Simmons to MG, and ultimately to CC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
