[Ha Ha Thats Very Logical]

The words 'notwithstanding' and 'to inherit' both only appear once, and both in footnotes.
I don't know where the Ark court got it, but I don't think it was from Blackstone.

I wasn't thinking that the Ark court used the words. I got them from the name of the British law: "An Act to enable His Majesties naturall borne Subjects to inherite the Estate of their Ancestors either lineall or collaterall notwithstanding their Father or Mother were Aliens."

"An Act to enable His Majesties naturall borne Subjects to inherite the Estate of their Ancestors either lineall or collaterall notwithstanding their Father or Mother were Aliens."

From: History of Parliament Trust
Statutes of the Realm: volume 7: 1695-1701

I'm sorry, but this is at least 50 years prior to Blackstone [1753].

You think this is relevant.... why?
