The maternal relationship between Eliza J. Hammersley and her son John Lincoln Richardson is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KMC.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KMC and other confirmed descendants of Peter Hammersley/Lydia Fuller is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KMC descends from Peter Hammersley/Lydia Fuller through Eliza J. Hammersley and her son John Lincoln Richardson, the presence of significant shared DNA between KMC and other known descendants of Peter Hammersley/Lydia Fuller validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Peter Hammersley/Lydia Fuller through Eliza J. Hammersley to John Lincoln Richardson, and ultimately to KMC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
