Since no one has answered I will say -Personally I don't know.
There are relations that are very distant genalogically (tree-wise), but not the ones I've heard of as being in Fall River.

We've heard of Morses visiting Fall River at the B&B. I think Shelley had mentioned that before. I think Morses would be the closest relatives, more than any Borden.

Is there no available information on the decendents of Andrew's siblings?

There were no surviving decendents of Andrew's siblings. Lurana was the one who had a child, but he died while they were still at Ferry Street.

One would have to go to Andrew's father's siblings, but Sarah Morse is closer and there were something like 5* surviving siblings there to show a closer lineage.

(Guesstimate- did not look it up at the moment.)

I only know of one, and that is Richard Borden, the Justice of the Peace that married me and Dave on the opening day of the B&B. He was very distantly related, something like a 13th cousin twice removed or something like that.

Hi Kat!
How are you?
I've missed being around but I've back and forth, family stuff as always and the stress is just wonderful, but trying to make some "Pammie" time and checking out the forum.
How is everything?

So many people rush up to say they are "related to Lizzie Borden". When I ask them how, it gets pretty fuzzy fast! :grin: I know there are some Jerome C Borden , and Cook Borden relatives still out there, and some Gardiner and Shaw cousins several times removed. Last summer was the Morse family reunion and some of Uncle John's relatives (presumably on his mother's side) came into the barn to chat. One lady was one of John's kin and was excited to say her granddad was a farmer and livestock broker- horses. So we got a chuckle out of that- and she was from Iowa too!

Those Morses sound neat!

Hey Pammie- I was wondering how you are- it seems you had so many stressful responsibilities.
