What you want to do is to look at all the relationships that make you cousins....start with your branch.

For example: 5. Charles is the son of Mary Giddens (1802-) [confident] 6. Mary is the daughter of William Giddens (1766-1837) [unknown confidence] 7. William is the son of William Giddins (1730-) [unknown confidence] 8. William is the son of William Giddins (1701-) [unknown confidence]
Everywhere it says unknown confidence, see if you can find a birth or baptism record or a will that can change that relationship to confident....
In the meantime, I can take a look at the Taft family and see if there are documents available, also....
