Regarding the 6th GGrands...I have come across a number of 1st cousin marriages. Also, it was not unusual for a widow or widower to marry the brother/sister of their dead spouse. Therefore, the second group of children were cousins to the first group of children, but they shared the same mother or father. My mother's first cousin, who is still living, married her first cousin (now deceased). Lynell Kirk Nelson AGenFool (BARNES, ROBINSON, SLYE, FREEMAN, OLIVER, ARNELL, MERTON, CECIL, GRAVES)
