Two grandmothers, with their two granddaughters;
Two husbands, with their two wives;
Two fathers, with their two daughters;
Two mothers, with their two sons;
Two maidens, with their two mothers;
Two sisters, with their two brothers;
Yet only six in all lie buried here;
All born legitimate, from incest clear

a grandmother(1) had a son(2) who married a widow (3) with a son (4), from a previous marriage or whatever.
This couple had a daughter(5) and one of the maidens.
Then grandma(1) married the son of 3rd person (no relation whatsoever) and they had a daughter (6, and the other maiden).
i think there is also another one solution to this riddle.
