To his 'children and their descendants; if none, then 2. To his father; if none., then 3. To his mother, brothers, and sisters, and their des- cendants; if none, then 4. One moiety of the estate shall go to the paternal, and the other to the rTaternal kindred, in the fbllowing course: 5. First, to the grandfather; if none, then 6. To the grandmother, uncles, and aunts, and their descendants; if none, then 7. To the great grandfathers, or great grandfather, if there is but one; if none, then 8. To the great grandmothers, or great grandmother, if there is but one, and the brothers and sisters of the grandtfathers and grandmothers, and their descendants ; and so on in other cases without end, passing to the nearest lineal male ancestors, and, for the want of them, to the nearest lineal female ancestors in the same degree, and the descendants of such male and female ancestors. 9.

If there is neither paternal nor maternal kindred, the whole shall go to the husband or wife of the intestate ; or, if the husband or wife is dead, to his or her kindred, as if he or she had survived the intestate and died entifled to the estate. § 2.
