In an account of Kent, it is related that one Hawood had two daughters
by his first wife, of which the eldest was married to John Cashick the
son, and the youngest to John Cashick the father. This Cashick the
father had a daughter by his first wife, whom old Hawood married, and by
her had a son: with the exception of the former wife of old Cashick, all
these persons were living at Faversham in February, 1650, and his second
wife could say as follows:--
My father is my son, and | My sister is my daughter,
I’m mother’s mother; | I’m grandmother to my brother.
