KATIE AND SHELLY Jack's first ancestor here had 14 children by two wives. (And I don't envy the wives) Eleven of the children survived to adulthood and almost all had fairly big families, too. The book I have of the Peabody family history was published about 1900 and listed almost 2000 male descendants at that time. Add in the descendants of the daughters, and you can see why so many of us on these boards are "cousins".
