The Wealthy Cousins of Lizzie Borden
I have been reading about how wealthy Jefferson, Richard and Spencer Borden were and how another distant cousin, M.C.D. Borden, lived in Manhattan where he attended many top society functions. Did Andrew, Lizzie or Emma ever really meet these wealthy distant cousins? With the class differences in Fall River in the Victorian era, I wasn't sure if Andrew would have really seen Jefferson and Richard. An interesting article on the Lizzie Borden Society website mentions about how Jefferson and Richard would have obviously mixed in different social circles to Andrew, and I have never read any accounts of him ever really knowing them.
