This family business contributed significantly to the family's wealth. Teedie's father, Theodore Sr., eventually inherited control of the family firm along with Teedie's uncle, James Roosevelt. Most of the Roosevelt wealth, however, came from land holdings in and around New York City.
The bride and groom were both surnamed Roosevelt and the marriage united two branches of the family, comfortably moneyed and settled in New York City and upstate at Oyster Bay and Hyde Park. The bride was the niece of President Theodore Roosevelt, of the Oyster Bay branch, the daughter of his younger brother Elliott, an alcoholic, womaniser and general failure. Her father adored her and was adored in return, but she was a severe disappointment to her lively and beautiful mother, who thought âLittle Nellâ plain, serious and boring.
