Related to a prophet

There are many different ways to designate family relationships. The term cousin, for example has multiple definitions, ranging from the children of siblings to multi-generational links. The term shirt-tail cousin, according to my understanding, refers to relationships that come about through marriage, rather than blood lines.

In this case, there is a blood line connection to the Prophet George Albert Smith, although distant. Technically, he is my third cousin, three times removed. There are several ways to explain this:

1. His grandmother, Nancy Bailey Chase Farr, and my Great, Great, Great Grandfather, Solomon Drake Chase were first cousins.
2. His Great Grandfather, Ezra Chase, and my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather, Abner Chase, were brothers.
3. His Great, Great Grandfather, Timothy Chase, is my Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather.

Perhaps these family tree diagrams will help:
