FACT OR
FICTION – John3 Cox (Philip2 – Isaac1) is said to have married Elizabeth de
Carteret born 1653. Need her ancestors
to prove or disprove a report that Elizabeth was the daughter of Mary Stuart,
Princess Royal, (daughter of King Charles I of England) by a secret and brief
second marriage about 1652 to Sir Phillip de Carteret. Was this marriage annulled? Elizabeth said to have been married to
Phineas Graves and had a daughter Dorcas Graves who married Philip Cox. Philip died 1736 near Bound Brook, New
Jersey. Is this marriage of Mary
Stuart, Princess Royal, to Sir Phillip de Carteret a historical fact or
fiction? If a fact, what references are
available? If fiction what is the bit
of historical truth which brought about the story? (Name and address of inquirer furnished by the OGS Editor at the
request of any one who wishes to reply directly in preference to
replying to the OGS Editor.) [Page 548]
LINEAL AND COLLATERAL RELATIONSHIPS – A lineal blood
relationship exists between persons when one individual is directly descended
from the other. Example: you and your
parents. A collateral blood
relationship refers to persons who are in different lines of descent from a
common ancestor. Example: you and your
brother, uncle, or cousin. (Daily

BROTHERS AND SISTERS-IN-LAW – When sisters marry, their
husbands are not the “brothers-in-law” to each other. Example: Rebecca and
Rachel, sisters, marry John and William respectively. John is a brother-in-law to Rachel because she is his wife’s
sister, but he is not brother-in-law to William. (Adopted from suggestion by Mrs. R.J. McCullough.) [Page 558]
