Maternal relationship is confirmed on MyHeritage by a triangulated 13.3 cM segment on chromosome 6 from 131624204 to 142971133 (rs1407530 – rs116810941, 5760 SNPs). MRCAs are John Witt and Lucy Littlebury with DNA matches from descendants E. Larson (5GGD), Westlake-546 (6GGD), and FVH (Variable). E. Larson and Westlake-546 are descended from son William E. Witt. FVH is descended from son David Witt two or three different ways, so the specific inheritance pathway of that leg is unestablished (but all through David).
