Artemas and Ella Edmands, 3rd Cousins Once Removed
Here is a chart showing the third-cousin once-removed relationship of Artemas Seymour Edmands, 1837-1920, and his wife, Ella Josephine Mansfield Edmands, 1849-1923 (our ancestors in Generation 6--that is, 6 generations back from the "leading-edge" generation of today's babies in our family).

Mansfield, 1865-1926, which would make them third cousin, twice removed. Artemas's father, Artemas Edmands, 1813-1896, married his own seventh cousin [and, ultimately, another Mansfield connection], Margaret M. Wilson Edmands, 1811-1879 (our ancestors in Generation 7--both of them great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren (8 generations worth) of Robert Mansfield, 1594-1666 and Elizabeth Townsend Mansfield, 1596-1673, our ancestors in Generation 15; Margaret was descended from Robert and Elizabeth's second child, Andrew Mansfield, 1620-1683, and Artemas was descended from their fourth child, Joseph Mansfield I, <1628-1694.)
Anyway, Ella's great-great-grandparents, Thomas Mansfield I, 1717-1758 and Bethiah Poole Mansfield, 1718-1750, our ancestors in Generation 10, were the same as Artemas's great-great-great-grandparents (and, if you count the generations from Artemas's side, they would be part of Generation 11).
