Joe Biden's 'problematic legacy'? President-elect claims he could have Indian heritage - but may be a descendant of captain who contributed to 'colonization and subjugation' of natives before they staged a bloody mutiny
- Joe Biden has previously claimed his great-great-great-great grandfather could have moved from Britain to Mumbai, India
- One professor says the President-elect might be related to Christopher Biden, a captain who settled in India in 1839
- If true, it would mean both Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris both have ties to India, as Harris' late mother was born in the South Asian nation
- Christopher Biden purportedly worked for the East India Company - a British stock company that 'conquered, subjugated and plundered' the region
- Local soldiers staged a violent mutiny against the East India Company in 1857, which led to the death of more than 6,000 Britons
- A staggering 800,000 Indians are said to have died during the uprising and in the famines that were subsequently caused by the 18-month event
- The Times claims Biden has a 'problematic legacy' as his ancestry consists of 'British Empire-builders'
If true, it would mean both Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris both have ties to India, as Harris' late mother was born in the South Asian nation.
Interestingly, Christopher Biden lived and died in Madras (now known as Chennai), the exact same place where Harris' mother was born.
But as The Times reports, the President-elect's possible relative and Harris' family would have had very different experiences of life in the city.
According to the paper: 'Harris describes her Indian grandfather as "one of the original independence fighters in India". Biden's ancestors, however, stand on the opposite side of history, not as victims of empire but as British Empire-builders.'
They further claim Biden has a 'problematic legacy' given his potential ties to the East India Trading Company.
By the beginning of the 1800s, around the time Christopher Biden was born, 'the East India Company had conquered, subjugated and plundered vast areas of south Asia... ruling most of India'.

でももっと昔の祖先はバイデンさんと同じくBritish East India Company関係者だったんでしょうな。（爆ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ
Ancestry
Paternal
Joseph Sr.'s parents, Mary Elizabeth (née Robinette) Biden (1894–1943) and Joseph Harry Biden (1893–1941),[44][45] an oil businessman from Baltimore, Maryland, were of English, French, and Irish descent.[46][2]:8
Biden's paternal third great-grandfather, William Henry Biden (1789–1849), was born in England and emigrated to the United States, where he settled in Maryland. According to historian Eddy Greenfield, he was born in Sussex,[47][48] and was christened at St John the Baptist's Church, Westbourne in Westbourne, West Sussex on 8 March 1789.[48] William Henry was the second child and son of James Biden (born November 1767) and Ann Silverlock (born March 1766), who had married on 16 May 1785. James Biden, Biden's paternal fourth great-grandfather, was from Pagham. He was the son of Richard Biden, Biden's paternal fifth great-grandfather, and his wife Susan, beyond which the paternal family line cannot be traced.[48]
A possible connection may also exist to the family of another William Henry Biden, who was from Houghton, Cambridgeshire and lived from 1791 to 1843.[49] This William Henry was a son of a John Biden (died 28 July 1796) and his wife Ann Beaumont, who had married in 1781.[49] The seventh of eight children and the family's fifth son,[50] William Henry and his elder brother Christopher Biden (1789-1858) served as officers in the East India Company merchant marine, both eventually becoming captains of East Indiamen. William Henry commanded mid-sized vessels before his death at Rangoon in 1843.[51]
Christopher Biden subsequently became an official in the Madras Civil Service (later the Indian Civil Service), and his descendants settled in India. He died at Madras in 1858.[51] In 1981, Christopher's fourth-great-grandson Leslie Dunn Biden, then living in Nagpur, wrote to Joe Biden about the possible family connection after reading about him in the Illustrated Weekly of India, He received a response from Joe, and after discussing their genealogy, both promised to stay in touch, but did not resume correspondence before Leslie's death in 1983.[50] During a 2013 visit to India, Joe Biden referred to Leslie's letter, mentioning a "Biden from Mumbai" had suggested their "mutual great-great-great-great-something-or-other" named George had "worked for the East India Company back in the 1700s."[51]
Maternal
Jean's parents were Geraldine Catherine (née Blewitt) Finnegan and Ambrose Joseph Finnegan, an advertising salesman from Scranton, Pennsylvania.[2] Jean was of Irish descent, with roots variously attributed to County Louth[52] and County Londonderry.[53][2]:8 Irish genealogists presented Joe Biden with his Irish maternal family history on his visit there in 2016.[54] Joe's maternal great-grandfather (Geraldine's father), Edward Francis Blewitt,[55] the child of Irish emigrants from Rappagh, Ballina, County Mayo, was a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate.[56][57] With Joe Biden having a great-great-grandfather (Patrick Blewitt) and a great-grandfather (James Finnegan) being born in Ireland, this makes Joe Biden 18.75% Irish.[58]
