The maternal relationship between Carrie Mae Jenkins and her daughter Christina Bennett is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JMB.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JMB and other confirmed descendants of Harry Jenkins/Susan Simmons is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JMB descends from Harry Jenkins/Susan Simmons through Carrie Mae Jenkins and her daughter Christina Bennett, the presence of significant shared DNA between JMB and other known descendants of Harry Jenkins/Susan Simmons validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Harry Jenkins/Susan Simmons through Carrie Mae Jenkins to Christina Bennett, and ultimately to JMB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
