Early Years

Corinne Roosevelt was born on September 27, 1861 at 28 East 20th Street in New York City, the fourth and youngest child of Theodore Roosevelt, Sr. and Martha Bulloch. Her siblings were Anna Roosevelt (1855-1931), Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), the future President of the United States, Elliott Roosevelt (1860-1894), a chronic alcoholic and the father of future First Lady of the United States, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. Robinson was a playmate of Edith Kermit Carow, Theodore's future wife and later the First Lady of the United States. Corinne's father was a supporter of the North during the Civil War, while her mother, Martha supported the South. Martha's home state was Georgia and she had moved to New York only due to her marriage to Theodore. Martha's brothers were also members of the Confederate Army. The conflict between the parents' political ideals did not hamper a privileged childhood of the best schools and regular travel along with a formal societal debut expected of families of prominence.
