It appears Jennie is her husband's first cousin. They were both named Putt, and share the same grandfather, John Putt, father of Levi Putt (Charles' father) and Lewis Putt (Jennie's father). Since they were both born in the same town, only three years apart in age, and Levi Putt (Charles' father and Jennie's uncle) stood as a witness at their wedding, they must not have been concerned about the relationship.
