LEWIS.

1. LEWIS FOY had a son named BENJAMIN FRANKLIN FOY.
2. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN had a son named JOHN ELON FOY.
3. JOHN ELON had a son named TRUMAN FRANK FOY.
4. TRUMAN FRANK had a daughter named JEAN ELIZABETH FOY.
5. JEAN ELIZABETH married a MILLER and had a son named
RICHARD.

That makes six generations from JAMES to RICHARD.

On the EUGENE CHESSON side, JAMES FOY also had a son named JAMES
FOY JR.

1. JAMES JR had a son named JOSEPH M. FOY.
2. JOSEPH M. Had a son named FRANCIS M. FOY.
3. FRANCIS M. Had a daughter named MARY JOSIE FOY.
4. MARY JOSIE married a man named CHESSON and they had a son named
EUGENE CHESSON.

There are five generations from JAMES FOY to EUGENE CHESSON.

Now, that’s the easy part; how do you use the chart to determine the relationship

between RICHARD MILLER and EUGENE CHESSON ? Starting on the left
side with RICHARD MILLER, follow the column (that will be the series of
smaller parallelograms with the numbers and letters in them) that are formed
between the lines for numbers 5 and 6. At the same time , starting on the right
(EUGENE CHESSON’s side) follow the column between the lines for numbers
4 and 5. Where those two columns intersect is the small parallelogram which has
the notation “4C/1R” in it. That notation stands for fourth cousin, once removed.

You will see that most relatives are cousins and, unless you are one of those
particular types, the number designations like third, fourth, fifth, etc and the
removeds are not really important unless we find a will some where that gives
more money to the smaller numbered cousins which is not likely.
