COLLATERAL KINSMEN

Legal Term: COLLATERAL KINSMEN
Definition: descent, distribution. Those who descend from one and the same common ancestor, but not from one another; thus brothers and sisters are collateral to each other; the uncle and the nephew are collateral kinmen, and cousins are the same. The term collateral is used in opposition to the phrase lineal kinsmen. (q. v.)


***All definitions are taken from the 1856 Edition of Bouviers Law Dictionary
