Tosefta for Kiddushin 4:7

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בֶּן יַעֲקֹב אוֹמֵר, יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁנָּשָׂא גִיּוֹרֶת, בִּתּוֹ כְשֵׁרָה לַכְּהֻנָּה. וְגֵר שֶׁנָּשָׂא בַת יִשְׂרָאֵל, בִּתּוֹ כְשֵׁרָה לַכְּהֻנָּה. אֲבָל גֵּר שֶׁנָּשָׂא גִיּוֹרֶת, בִּתּוֹ פְסוּלָה לַכְּהֻנָּה. אֶחָד גֵּר וְאֶחָד עֲבָדִים מְשֻׁחְרָרִים, אֲפִלּוּ עַד עֲשָׂרָה דוֹרוֹת, עַד שֶׁתְּהֵא אִמּוֹ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אַף גֵּר שֶׁנָּשָׂא גִיּוֹרֶת, בִּתּוֹ כְשֵׁרָה לַכְּהֻנָּה:

R. Eliezer b. Yaakov says: If an Israelite married a proselytess, his daughter is kasher to the priesthood, and if a proselyte married the daughter of an Israelite, his daughter is kasher to the priesthood. But if a proselyte married a proselytess, his daughter is unfit for the priesthood, both a proselyte and freed bondsmen, even until ten generations — until his mother be an Israelite. R. Yossi says: Even the daughter of a proselyte who married a proselytess is kasher to the priesthood. [The gemara concludes that if one comes to be advised he is taught as per R. Eliezer b. Yaakov, that a Cohein should not marry the daughter of a proselyte and a proselytess; but if he did marry her, the halachah is in accordance with R. Yossi, and she is not taken from him, and his children from her are kasher.]
