Helen Keller had two grandmothers, just like everyone else.

Her paternal grandmother was:

  • the daughter of Alexander Moore, one of Lafayette's aides,
  • the granddaughter of Alexander Spottswood, an early colonial Governor of Virginia, and
  • second cousin to Robert E. Lee (i.e. descended from a great aunt or great uncle of General Lee.)

Her maternal grandmother was Lucy Helen Everett of Helena, Arkansas. She was related in an undefined way to Edward Everett, a famous orator, politician and educator of the mid-19th century
