Re: Widows Rights & Second Marriages

Hi Robert,

You need to get your "step" v "half" sorted out if you are going to be publishing these genealogies! When both husband and wife already have children by earlier relationships, these children are step brothers or step sisters
(i.e. no blood relationship). Eliza's children by two fathers would be half brothers or half sisters, who would at that
time be recorded as "of the half blood", as Frances wrote.
