Does it mean that Kerry inherited a noble blood?
 Sorry for asking too easy a question. |

You're on the right track, Lovejsbach. In the US, where there is no official nobility, it means he is from the very highest social class. It also implies that his family has held that status for several generations. It is our equivalent of nobility.
Hope that helps. |
