A TABLE of Kindred and Affinity,
wherein whosoever are related are forbidden in Scripture, and our Laws,
to marry together.
This is recorded in a Bible that was printed in 1811.
A Man may not marry his: |
A Woman may not marry her: 1. Grandfather 2. Grandmothers Husband 3. Husbands Grandfather 4. Fathers Brother 5. Mothers Brother 6. Fathers Sisters Husband 7. Mothers Sisters Husband 8. Husbands Fathers Brother 9. Husbands Mothers Brother 10. Father 11. Step-Father 12. Husbands Father 13. Son 14. Husbands Son 15. Daughters Husband 16. Brother 17. Husbands Brother 18. Sisters Husband 19. Sons Son 20. Daughters Son 21. Sons Daughters Husband 22. Daughters Daughters Husband 23. Husbands Sons Son 24. Husbands Daughters Son 25. Brothers Son 26. Sisters Son 27. Brothers Daughters Husband 28. Sisters Daughters Husband 29. Husbands Brothers Son 30. Husbands Sisters Son |
Please don't put me on the hotseat for this list. I know there were
a lot of our ancestors that married their husband or wives brother or sister,
or brother or sister-in-law when their spouses died and many married 1st,
2nd, or 3rd cousins.
This was in an old Bible I have that was printed in 1811.
