Lyn,

Beware of the term "cousin". It was the thing in Dr. Westovers day to call
anyone remotely related "cousin". As everyone in Wedmore was interrelated
then everyone was his "cousin".

According to Fitzhugh, The Dictionary of Genealogy, "Cousin was a term
formerly loosely used , often meaning nephew or neice..."
