Jérôme Napoleon Bonaparte
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte (July 7, 1805 - June 17, 1870) was a son of Jerome Bonaparte and Elizabeth Patterson, and a nephew of Emperor Napoleon I.
He was born in Camberwell, Surrey, England, but lived in the United States with his mother, whose marriage had been annulled at the order of the French emperor. With the annulment came the rescinding of Patterson's son's right to carry the Bonaparte name, a ruling that was reversed by Napoleon III.
He married Susan May Williams, and it is from them that the American line of the Bonaparte family descended. They had two sons: Charles Joseph Bonaparte and Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte II.
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte died in Baltimore, Maryland and is buried in the Loudon Park Cemetery, Baltimore.
