Wer heiratete James Roosevelt I?

James Roosevelt I (* 16. Juli 1828 in Hyde Park, New York; † 8. Dezember 1900 in New York City) war ein US-amerikanischer Unternehmer.

Er war Vizepräsident der Delaware and Hudson Railway und Präsident der Southern Railway Security Company.

Sein Sohn war der spätere US-Präsident Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Sara Ann Roosevelt (née Delano; September 21, 1854 – September 7, 1941) was the second wife of James Roosevelt I (from 1880), the mother of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States and her only child, and subsequently the mother-in-law of Eleanor Roosevelt.

Delano was born and raised in Newburgh, New York, and spent three years in Hong Kong. She gave birth to Franklin in 1882, and was a devoted mother to him for the remainder of her life, including home-schooling and living close by in adulthood. She had a complex relationship with her daughter-in-law Eleanor, which has led to media portrayals of her as a domineering and fearsome mother-in-law, though these are at odds with other views. She died in 1941, with her son, then the President, at her side.
