True Life of Billy the Kid by Don Jernardo which was more recently published in Frederic Nolan's The Billy the Kid Read mentions that Billy's sister married a miner and he had a brother named John.
WPA Files Dr. J. R. Carver interview mentions Billy's sister came to visit him but didn't even visit his grave and went directly east.

That statement was made by Dr. J. R. Carver, a Presbyterian minister, and recorded by Mrs. Belle Kilgore, the WPA interviewer. J. R. (John Randolph) Carver said he and his mother came to New Mexico in 1907. The 1880 census shows John Carver, wife Harriet, and son Randolph in Ashland County, Ohio, and in Morrow County, Ohio, in the 1900 census. Harriet Carver was still in Morrow County in the 1910 census, not New Mexico. John Randolph Carter was in Torrance County, New Mexico in 1910. J. R. Carver said Billy the Kid's horse was never seen again. J. R. Carver said that a Mexican was buried instead of Billy the Kid. J. R. Carver said that Billy the Kid went down in Texas on the Rio Grande.
Dr. J. R. Carver was wrong when he stated that his mother came to New Mexico in 1907 with him. Harriet's husband, John Randolph Carver Sr died in 1913, and is buried in Rivercliff Cemetery, Morrow County, Ohio. She then went to New Mexico to be near her only child, J. R. Carver.
Dr. J. R. Carver had no first hand knowledge of any of the events he described regarding Billy the Kid.
