The maternal relationship between Hazel Mae Griggs and her son Weldon Wallace Davis is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RD and other confirmed descendants of James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RD descends from James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton through Hazel Mae Griggs and her son Weldon Wallace Davis, the presence of significant shared DNA between RD and other known descendants of James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton through Hazel Mae Griggs to Weldon Wallace Davis, and ultimately to RD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
