You want to be careful about that. It was widely believed (and actually published) that a 4G-grandfather of mine in Logan County, KY, had married his first cousin. It turned out that she wasn't his first cousin after all. His aunt was married to his wife's father, which is what everyone was going by, but his wife was a child of her father's first marriage--my 4G-grandfather's aunt was her stepmother and not her mother.

My tree didn't branch out much either. My step great grandfather and blood grandmother were first cousins. All their daughters were considered "slow". But it really showed up in these daughter's children, they all had at least one to two retarded children, there was a dwarf too, and several "slow" ones. My mother was descended from the great grandmother from a child she had before she married her first cousin/husband. ----- Original Message ----- From: <johnnylumen@comcast.net> To: <tnbedfor@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 8:14 AM Subject: [TNBEDFOR] and Jeff Foxworthy said.... >I think Jeff was talking about my ancestors...we have a grandfather way >back that married 2nd his granddaughter...eeewwww! > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: "W.
