Son

SonKindred. An immediate male descendant. In its technical meaning in devises, this is a word of purchase, but the testator may make it a word of descent. Sometimes it is extended to more remote descendants.
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.
Immediate
That which is produced directly by the act to which it is ascribed, without the intervention or agency of any distinct intermediate cause.
Male
Of the masculine sex; of the sex that begets young; the sex opposed to the female.
Descendant
Those person who are born of, or from children of, another are called that person's descendants. Grandchildren are descendants of their grandfather as children are descendants of their natural parents. The law also distinguishes between collateral descendants and lineal descendants.
Technical
That which properly belongs to an art.
Word
Construction. One or more syllables which when united convey an idea a single part of speech.
Purchase
In its most enlarged and technical sense, purchase signifies the lawful acquisition of real estate by any means whatever, except descent. It is thus defined by Littleton, section 12. "Purchase is called the possession of lands or tenements that a man hath by his own deed or agreement, unto which possession he cometh, not by title of descent from any of his ancestors or cousins, but by his own deed."
Testator
One who has made a testament or will.
Remote
At a distance; afar off, not immediate. A remote cause is not in general sufficient to charge a man with the commission of a crime, nor with being the author of a tort.
Descendants
Those who have issued from an individual, and include his children, grandchildren, and their children to the remotest degree.
