Biden family

The Biden family is an American political family. Joe Biden's father, Joseph Robinette Biden, Sr., (1915–2002)^[1] used to claim the name was of Irish origin, but the claim could not be verified.^[2] Joe Biden's mother, Catherine Eugenia "Jean" (Finnegan) Biden (1917–2010), however, was of Irish descent.^[3]

Some notable people with the surname include:

Joe Biden (Joseph R. Biden Jr.), 47th and current Vice President of the United States
Beau Biden (Joseph R. Biden III), Attorney General of Delaware and son of Joe Biden (1969–2015).^[4] Two children: Natalie and Hunter.
Hunter Biden (Robert Hunter Biden), businessman and son of Joe Biden. Three children, daughters Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy.
Jill Biden, Second Lady of the United States; educator; and second wife of Joe Biden

Joe Biden married Neilia Hunter in 1966, and they had two sons and a daughter (Naomi Christina). In December 1972, while Joe Biden was Senator-elect, Neilia and Naomi were killed in a traffic accident which injured the two sons, who recovered from their injuries. Joe Biden married his second wife, Jill, in 1977, and together they had a daughter, Ashley. In May 2015, Beau died of brain cancer.
