    Ah, that's nothing (relatively speaking).

    William Phips' poor mother had 26 children!!

    I'd have to question them being the largest US family...I know plenty of families that are close to that and wouldn't doubt if there are some that have more than that.

    17 children. man, I am sorry for those parents when they get grandchildren. If each child makes 2 children, they would have 34 grandchildren. They therefore have to remember 17+34 = 51 names.

    How absurd a tenet is this, which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed, and not commanded? What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship?

    It's perhaps a little easier to remember names in George Foreman's household. He has 10 children (5 boys and 5 girls):

    George Jr., George III, George IV, George V and George VI, Freeda George, Georgetta, Michi, Natalie and Leola.
