Edith Eloise Morford (1891 - 20/10/1928)

The maternal relationship between Edith Eloise Morford and her son Benard N. Sutfin is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TS and other confirmed descendants of Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TS descends from Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins through Edith Eloise Morford and her son Benard N. Sutfin, the presence of significant shared DNA between TS and other known descendants of Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Lathrop Meeker/Sophronia Maria Tompkins through Edith Eloise Morford to Benard N. Sutfin, and ultimately to TS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
