How many sisters and brothers did Lizzie Borden have?
Lizzie had one sister, older by a decade. Emma Borden practically raised Lizzie after their mother's death when Lizzie was 3. Although Andrew Borden married again, Lizzie never had a close relationship with her step-mother Abbey. Until the elder Borden's murders in 1892, Lizzie called Abbey 'Mrs. Borden'. There was also the rumor of an illegitimate son from an indescretion of Andrew Borden but this may or may not have been a fact. If he did have a son, this offspring was not mentioned or provided for in his last will and testiment.

Who wrote Lizzie Borden took an axe?
I'm afraid that may be lost to the ages. The Borden murders and Lizzie's trial and aquittal generated so much publicity there is no way to distinguish when and where the axe rhyme originated.
Has anyone ever considered if Lizzie Bordens sister Emma may have been the killer?
In his book "Lizzie" author Frank Spiering claimed that Lizzie's sister Emma was not where everyone thought she was, and was indeed the killer. Lizzie and Emma were furious over a family dispute over a piece of real estate that Andrew Borden had given to his wife's side of the family. Abby Borden was Emma and Lizzie's stepmother, so to see some of their property going to someone 'outside' the immediate family caused a rift that could not be overcome.
Is Lizzie Borden related to the Borden dairy?
I don't think so. If they are related it may be so distant that nobody noticed the connection. The Borden Co. founded by Gail Borden, Jr. born in 1801 and died in 1874, was not only dairy products, but adhesives, certain chemicals, ect. Borden, Jr. was born in Norwich, NY, expanded the original company many times over.
Was Lizzie Borden sick in the head?
I believe not because many believed she was molested and brutally abused so maybe she posed as a threat killed her parents and posed as if she was mentally insane. So she would not be convicted and I would just like to state I'm 12
What was the Lizzie Borden trials about?
There was only one trial, and it was to determine whether or not Borden was guilty of murdering her father and stepmother. She was acquitted, but the investigation was shoddy even by 19th century standards, so her acquittal may say more about the ineptitude/incompetence of the investigators than about her actual innocence.
Who is the most likely suspect in the Lizzie Borden double murders?
Former FBI agent John Douglas of the Behavioural Science Unit in his book The Crimes That Haunt Us, says that Fall River police got it right. After a thorough analysis of the crime Douglas narrows the suspect list to two, Lizzie and the Borden's maid, Bridget Sullivan. The only two people that had physical access to the crime scene, victims, and alleged murder weapon were those two people. But only one of those two had a motive for the killings, and only one, Lizzie, who would benefit financially from the death of Andrew and Abbey Borden. The intruder theory didn't mesh with the evidence. Emma Borden, Lizzie's older sister may have had the same motivation as Lizzie but Emma had an airtight aliby as did John Morse, a houseguest of the Borden's at the time of the murders and Andrew's brother-in-law from his first marriage to John's sister Sarah. In conclusion, the prosecutor Hosea Knowlton had a strong circumstantial case. The verdict had more to do with a biased jury with antiquated ideas pertaining to women and their place in society in the 19th century.
Did Lizzie Borden and Nance O'Neil have a deep friendship?
The nature of the relationship between Borden and O'Neil may differ depending on who you ask. My own opinion, based on my research, is that it is very possible the friendship between the two women may have been romantic (sexual). It has been speculated that this "friendship" was the catalyst for the falling out of Lizzie and older sister Emma Borden. Emma moved out of Maplecroft, and the two remained estranged for the rest of their lives. At the time of their deaths, just weeks apart, Lizzie, or "Lizbeth" as she liked to be called, had spent a great portion of her inheritance, while Emma, who lived a very simple and fugal life, retained the bulk of her father's money plus interest. The combination of Lizzie's inappropriate relationship with the actress O'Neil and suspicion of her sister's guilt in the murder of the elder Bordens, it is not at all surprising that there was a rift between the siblings that was irreparable.
Did Lizzie Bordens parents abuse her?
I sincerely doubt it. The entire family was under extreme scrutiny and there was never even a hint of any kind of abuse in the Borden house. That doesn't mean everything was perfect. There obviously were problems. The biggest problem went by the name of Abby, the stepmother. Lizzie did not get alone with Abby and refused to call her 'mother', even though she married Mr. Borden when Lizzie was quite small. But I think in Lizzie's mind she was abused, for the fact that her father was a miser and penny-pincher who refused to live on a grand scale even though he was one of the richest men in Fall River, MA. Lizzie always had grand ideas, a big house in a better neighborhood, entertaining, ect. Right before the murders Andrew was planning to make a new will. The Borden sisters had the idea most of their inheritance would go to Abby and her family. When these factors came together it probaby pushed Lizzie over the edge. The tension and hard feelings simmered for years, combined with her stingy father's reluctance to spend a dime and the making of a new will, and to Lizzie it may have seemed the end of the world. And it was, for Andrew and Abby Borden.
Was Lizzie Borden a kleptomaniac?
Lizzie Borden did in fact have 'sticky fingers'. It was hardly a secret to her family and merchants around Fall River. Storekeepers had an unspoken agreement with Lizzie's father Andrew. Lizzie would exercise her talent for five finger discounts when the mood struck, and the proprietor of said store would send Andrew the bill. Nothing was every said, silent agreements tend to be less embarassing for all concerned. But local business owners were not the only ones at the receiving end of Lizzie's thievery. Andrew himself had found cash missing from his bedroom. He had to keep the room locked while he was away from the house. Years after her aquittal for the murders of her father and stepmother, Lizzie was caught stealing from a local art dealer. Her earlier thefts may be rationalized by her lack of spending money due to her tight-fisted father, but with his death, Lizzie and her sister Emma were among the wealthiest women in the state. She obviously could afford to buy whatever she wished, yet she chose to steal reguardless of her financial situation. This seems to be a very telling and revealing fact into the psychi of Miss Borden.
