Famous People Related to the Parrish Family

Explanation of the term Cousin(s)

Cousins have the same grandparent. Children of siblings (my children and my
brother’s children) are first cousins to each other. My children’s children
(or my grandchildren), and my brother’s grandchildren are second cousins. 
The next generation of these cousins will be third cousins and the next generation
will be fourth cousins and so on.

 Explanation of cousins once removed, twice removed, three times removed.
Cousins once or twice removed do not have the same grandparents.
They may have one common grandparent but not the other.
My father’s first cousins are the children of his aunt’s and uncle’s.
I share one common grandparent with these cousins but not both, thus one
generation removed or once removed. My parent’s first cousins are my first
cousins once removed. These same cousins are first Cousins to my children twice
removed and so on. They continue as first cousins to the next generation but once
removed.

My aunt’s son Charles is my first cousin. To my children he is a first cousin once
removed, and to their children he is first cousin twice removed. I share Charles’
grandparent on his mother side, but not the grandparent of his father’s side, thus 
once removed.

All of the following are cousins to the Parrish family. They range from first cousins to
six cousins. At one time we shared one common great grandparent, so they would
be 8, 9, 10 times removed depending on the generations. The first on the list is 
Zachary Taylor as an example, his relationship is 2nd cousin, 9 times removed. I did not identify the specific relationship for the others, but they are all cousins, several generations removed.
