Theodore Roosevelt: Family Life. The Roosevelt family was a strong close-knit group. The President took a great interest in his children and was fascinating in watching them growup. His letters are full of comments about the children and many letters to them. The children for their part adored their parents, except perhaps Alice, and were very close to each other.
Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt: Father, Thee Roosevelt. The roots of Roosevelt's vision lay deep in his youth. Theodore Roosevelt was born on 27 October 1858, to a very wealthy New York family. Wealthy doesn't quite capture just how well-off the Roosevelts really were. They were part of what was called the Knickerbocker Eliteâthe old, powerful moneyed families that ran New York society, some of them with patrician roots stretching all the way back to the days of seventeenth-century Dutch colonists.
