    The maternal relationship between Emma Catherine Hart and her daughter Mary Elizabeth Wellborn is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CG.

    The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CG and other confirmed descendants of William Cragg/Charlotte Selby is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CG descends from William Cragg/Charlotte Selby through Emma Catherine Hart and her daughter Mary Elizabeth Wellborn, the presence of significant shared DNA between CG and other known descendants of William Cragg/Charlotte Selby validates the generational links along this maternal line.

    This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple William Cragg/Charlotte Selby through Emma Catherine Hart to Mary Elizabeth Wellborn, and ultimately to CG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
