Billy Durant's daughter did have children and there are relatives. Billy Durant's great grandson lives in Virginia his name is Daniel Merrick. I don't believe that there are any living direct relatives with the name Durant. Maybe great nephews etc but not any of Billy's children or grandchildren etc.
