All three doujutsu are related, and they are inherited from the So6P. However, while the Byakugan is a distinctive eye technique, the other two are in fact the same ocular jutsu. The fact that the Sharingan can eventually become the Rinnegan means that the Sharingan isn't descended from the Rinnegan, but rather that the two jutsus are one in the same.
Before encountering Nagato, the Rinnegan was thought to be only a myth. Just like the So6P, many people, including Jiraiya and Kakashi, believed that the Rinnegan didn't really exist. After encountering Nagato, everybody just assumed that the Rinnegan was a unique ocular technique. However, it was later revealed that Nagato's Rinnegan were transplanted from Madara.
Madara's awakening of the Rinnegan indicates that every Uchiha had access to the Rinnegan. However, just like the MS and EMS, most Uchiha couldn't figure out the requirements for awakening the next level of Sharingan. This means that the only real distinction between the three ocular jutsus is that between the Byakugan and Sharingan.
