Part of the fun of being a Genealogy buff is those great
"finds" of coming across those loose pieces of lineage
info that "fit" into the meandering jigsaw-puzzle-like
project you're working on, "finds" that connect-the-dots,
"finds" that finally explain relationships that you
never really quite understood before. It's not unusual to
find that ancestral cousins married each other, or that
siblings from one family married siblings of another, angles
that created the "double cousins" aspect, and such. But
the "connecting-the-dots" with regards to Pearl's
"family connections" is truly a remarkable feat! If this
intrigues you, if you are indeed curious enough to try to
to follow it all, we very highly recommend that have your
Tylenols close at hand!
But of course......
this story must be preceded by some good ol
Reference Charts!

The Narrations |
(who were 2nd cousins to each other), separated when Pearl was 3 years old. Although both parents kept in close contact with Pearl, she was raised by Clabe's 1st cousin (on the Taylor side), Jackson Tedders, and his wife, Barbara (Corey) Tedders. (Pearl's offspring themselves refer to Barbara as "Moma.") |
who was Pearl's 3rd cousin-once removed. |
married Tollie (a Cobb descendant) that Barbara herself was "connected to" the Cobb family, but only by the fact that her grandmother's sister, Lizzie (Tuttle) Cobb, was married to John R. Cobb (Tollie's great-grandfather). But, ironically, Barbara never realized that she herself was a Cobb descendant! Her grandmother, Barbary (Tuttle) Jarvis (sister to the beforementioned Lizzie), was married to Jackson Jarvis, son to Elizabeth Jarvis. Barbara somehow never realized that her Great-grandmother Elizabeth was a Cobb! That her name was Polly Elizabeth (COBB) Jarvis! |
