About John Davis

John Davis' (1784-????) son (John Davis 1812-1874) married his second cousin (Dinah Barker 1819-1854).

All states in America permit you to marry a second cousin. It is illegal in 31 states to marry your first cousin, and legal in 19 states as well as the District of Columbia. There has been no proven genetic issues with marrying a second cousin (as of 2011, although 3 of the Davis' children didn't make it past the age of 2). Offspring produced by first cousins often have some minor complications.

NOTE: Connecting Tamar to her parents in the tree (Charles Davis 1771-1850 and Hannah Piggott) creates duplicate people because the complexity of the tree makes it difficult to display otherwise. Either way, connecting Tamar to her parents makes the tree difficult to read.
