Corinne (Roosevelt) Robinson
Corinne (Roosevelt) Robinson was born to Theodore Roosevelt Sr and Martha Stewart Bulloch. She had siblings [President] Theodore Roosevelt, Elliott Roosevelt [father of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt] and a sister, Anna Roosevelt. Corinne was the youngest. Corrinne Roosevelt married Douglas Robinson Jr. (1855 - 1918) on April 29, 1882. They had four children: Theodore Douglas Robinson, Corinne Douglas Robinson, Monroe Douglas Robinson, and Stewart Douglas Robinson. Stewart died in college, as a result of falling out of his college dorm window and sustaining a head injury. Interestingly, the Roosevelt family sometimes married other family members. Corinne was the aunt of Eleanor Roosevelt and a cousin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, making FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt cousins. And one of Corinne's sons, Theodore, married his cousin Helen Rebecca Roosevelt, a half-niece of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Corrinne, who died at the age of 71 of double pneumonia, was active in Republican politics and was also a fairly prolific poet/writer. See Corinne (Roosevelt) Robinson: Professions for the name of some of her works. See Corinne (Roosevelt) Robinson: Obituary.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
