Many thanks to Bob Hirst for suggesting that the erroneous report by Frank Kelsey of Twain having a half brother in Louisville, KY was in reality a misidentification of Henry Watterson -- a cousin by marriage. In Watterson's autobiography _Marse Henry_ he writes that he had employed Will S. Hays, the "rival of Foster as a song writer" as a reporter on the Courier-Journal. It seems much more plausible that Twain and Charles Klapproth visited Henry Watterson and Will Hays on that Kentucky pilgrimage as reported by Kelsey in _Drinking with Twain_. Unfortunately, Kelsey's memoir seems to be the only documentation of a visit to the Old Crow distillery -- so far. Barb
