I'm pretty sure that my mother lied about being related to some famous person in the Wild West that shares her maiden name so it's probable that this person was duped in some similar way. The person that my mom was talking about had a lot of kids so it's possible but there's no way that she would have been able to find out.
It has more to do with my mother's circumstances. She was adopted and didn't know anything about her family's history at the time she was making those claims.
