Xos. 16 and 44 also ri-prcst'iit a single 

 in(li\ idiial. Daniel HubhaRJ, who 

 married Martha C'oit, rcprcst-nted by a 

 single circle. Nos. 8 and 21 are two 

 distinct indi\i(hials, represented b\- two 

 distinct circles. 



Xos. 4 and 11 are two distinct in- 

 di\idiials, represented i)y two distinct 

 circles etc., etc. 



The circles are connected b>- a thic-k 

 straight line m hen the descent is 

 through a male (e\en number) and 1)\- 

 a dotte<l line where it is through a 

 female (odd number). 



We learn from this that the luisb.uul 

 and wife (Xos. 4 and 5) were blood 

 relatives. Their nearest common an- 

 cestor was Daniel Hubbard (who mar- 

 ried Martha Coit). He was a second 

 parent of No. 4, and a third parent of 

 No. 5, so that Nos. 4 and 5 were .second 

 and third kin through Daniel Hub- 

 bard. 



Through the s\steiu of ancestra 

 ninubers, con.sanguineous marriages are 

 readih- discovered, and the exact re- 

 lationship of the contracting parties 

 determined: It is purely an arithmeti- 

 cal process.
