Bob, I ran a kinship report on the Browns in my database and found the following people. Kinship of Emma Louise Brown Name Relationship with Emma Brown Breedlove, Cindarilla Half 1st cousin 4 times removed [my 3rd ggrandmother] Breedlove, Noah V. 3rd cousin once removed Half 4th cousin once removed Breedlove, Thomas David 2nd cousin twice removed Half 3rd cousin twice removed Brown Wife of the 3rd great-granduncle Brown, Celia Wife of the 1st cousin 3 times removed Wife of the half 2nd cousin 3 times removed Brown, Emma Louise Self Brown, Raymond Wiley Father Brown, Rita Gail Wife of the 4th cousin twice removed Wife of the half 5th cousin twice removed LaBauve, Ervin Branch Husband Strickland, Maud Half 4th cousin once removed [my grandmother] ================================ As you can see, Thomas D. is the 2nd cousin twice removed & half 3rd cousin twice removed of Emma Louise Brown. I also ran a kinship report on Noah and found that Noah and my grandmother were 2nd cousins, 3rd cousins, and half 4th cousins to each other. The kinship report got me laughing, a lot. It sounds like material for that comedian who talks about southerners marrying relatives.. Noah is his own 3rd cousin and his own half 4th cousin. His father is Noah's 2nd cousin once removed, as well as a half 3rd cousin once removed to his own son.
