082. W.S. Monroe, V. C. 8 Mar 28 1919 Marie Biggart Sr B II Consanguinity I know of a woman in our town, who married her first cousin. They had seven children, four of whom were imbeciles and the other three normal. The first child was a son, who is an imbecile. He is about forty years of age now and does nothing but sit in a chair and prattle like an infant. The next child was a daughter, who is also an imbecile. She is even more foolish than the son. The next child was a son, who is perfectly normal. The next child was a son, who is an imbecile and walks the streets constantly. Next were twins, daughters who are normal. And the last child, a son, who is also an imbecile, walking the streets constantly. [diagram]
