RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Kindred
Relations by blood. Nature has divided the kindred of every one into three principal classes: 1. His children, and their descendants. 2. His father, mother, and other ascendants. 3. His collateral relations; which include, in the first place, his brothers and sisters, and their descendants and, secondly, his uncles, cousins, and other relations of either sex, who have not descended from a brother or sister of the deceased. All kindred then are descendants, ascendants, or collaterals. A hushand or wife of the deceased, therefore, is not his or her kindred.
