Looking for descendants of Rev. War Patriots, some buried in Hawkins Co., bout 200+, with interest in joining the SAR. Bob Hughes, Past Pres. TNSSAR "Do not go where the path may lead; Go where there is no path and leave a trail"---Emerson Opportunities never come to those who wait...they are captured by those who dare to attack. There are 2 kinds of people, those that do the work and those who take the credit.

It could be first cousin, cousin in law or something else, such as second or third cousin, or cousin removed. I tend to believe that the right interpretation is first cousin, but that would be subject to other opinions. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
