Modern Emacs might conceptually come from the old Emacs (due to the inventor being Richard Stallman) but there was no continuity in the code (the current GNU Emacs was a rewrite by RMS in C)

XEmacs is just a fork of GNU Emacs, that happened back in the version 18 days. It has plenty of RMS's code in it.
