Louis & Delphine Myrthée were 1st cousins.

Married:
According to Stephen M. Houin: Some further confusion might be caused by the son Louis, Jr. who married a person with the same name as his mother, Delphine Myrthee Bozonier-Marmillion was the first cousin of Louis, Jr. being also the niece of his mother. The distinguishing factors are dates and the name Myrthee in her full name.
