No, but Massachusetts would. As I said in an embarasssingly complicated and unclear sentence, when interracial marriage was slowly being recognized, there was a period when some states recognized it, and others didn't. Those marriages weren't recognized in states in which it was illegal. The same was true for first cousins - and may still be, I'm not sure.
