William Howard Taft was the 27th President of the United States and the 10th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Born on September 15, 1857, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Taft was the son of prominent jurist Alphonso Taft (1810 - 1891) and his wife, Louisa Maria Torrey Taft (1827 - 1907).
He was the second of their five children (Samuel, Henry, Horace, and Frances. He also had half siblings Charles and Peter), and his early life was marked by privilege, intellectual curiosity, and high expectations. William Taft married Helen "Nellie" Herron (1861 - 1943) in 1886 and they had children Robert, Helen, and Charles Taft.
Taft attended Yale University, where he excelled academically and developed a deep interest in law and politics. After completing his studies, he embarked on a career that would take him from the Superior Court of Cincinnati to the White House and beyond.
