Query Text:

Hello---I am attempting to verify that the illustrator Eve Rockwell Little of Washington State was not a niece of Norman Rockwell.

My Internet research has led me to think that Norman had only nephews, although 1970s' and 1980s' marketing of Eve Rockwell figurines often included a statement that "Eve Rockwell is the niece of well-known artist Norman Rockwell".

I have learned that Norman had one brother, named Jarvis, who had only two sons, Richard Waring Rockwell and John Rockwell.

In the recent past, I have contacted the Norman Rockwell Museum. One of its staff members replied, stating that she did not have any information regarding an illustrator named Eve Rockwell and that Norman Rockwell did not have a niece.

Any information regarding Eve Rockwell would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
