Mary Alice Lewis (04/11/1868 - 11/04/1945)

The maternal relationship between Mary Alice Lewis and her daughter LaVonne Myrtle Bell is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RM.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RM and other confirmed descendants of Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RM descends from Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt through Mary Alice Lewis and her daughter LaVonne Myrtle Bell, the presence of significant shared DNA between RM and other known descendants of Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Wheeler Lewis/Abiah Leavitt through Mary Alice Lewis to LaVonne Myrtle Bell, and ultimately to RM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
