Reading edition
First cousins are prohibited by act of March 10: Session Laws of Col. (1864), 108; the prohibition is retained in Gen. Laws (1877), 612; but omitted in Gen. Stat. (1883), 690, the change being made in Session Laws (1883), 243. But Mills, Ann. Stat. (1891), sec. 1320, p. 931, declares the marriage of first cousins incestuous and void. See Laws of Pa. (1901), 597, for prohibition of marriage of first cousins; Laws of Ore. (1893), 41; Codes and Stat. of Ore. (1902), II, 1681.
