I had to laugh about your comment of intermarriage. My father's family (Dotson) has a lot of intermarriage with my mother's family. Including My Dad's Uncle marrying my Mom's sister. After he died, she married my Dad's brother. My mom's brother married my dad's cousin. My Dad's sister married 'my' sister's husband brother. I wonder sometimes why we all have so many nerve problems!
