Jefferson Borden Harriman (September 20, 1864-December 2, 1914) was a New York financier and member of the Gilded Age’s “hunting set.” He was best known as the supportive husband of Florence Jaffray Harriman, a socialite who became a progressive social activist and (after his death) a United States Ambassador to Norway during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was a cousin of railroad tycoon Edward Harriman, who was the father of statesman and diplomat W. Averell Harriman. A lingering gastrointestinal problem led to his early retirement and death. ==Early life== J. Borden Harriman was born on September 20, 1864.〔“(J. Borden Harriman, Ex-Banker, is Dead ),” New York Times, 1914-12-01.〕〔 “( Death of Oliver Harriman ),” New York Times, 1904-03-13.〕 His father, Oliver Harriman, was a partner of a dry goods commission house, which evolved into Low, Harriman & Co. (and then Harriman & Co.), an investment banking firm located on Worth Street, and later 111 Broadway, in Manhattan. Laura was the daughter of James Low, Oliver’s business partner.〔 He had seven siblings. In addition to brothers James, Oliver Jr., Joseph, and Herbert, J. Borden had three oft-married sisters—Emeline Harriman Dodge Olin, Anna Harriman Sands Rutherfurd Vanderbilt, and Lillie Harriman Travers Havemeyer.〔 In 1901, his mother died.〔“(Mrs. Laura Harriman’s Will ),” New York Times, 1901-06-16.〕 Later that year, he and his siblings successfully petitioned a New York court to declare their 70-year-old father incapable to manage his affairs due to senile dementia.〔 “(O. Harriman, Sr., Insane ),” New York Times, 1901-12-18.〕 At the time, his father’s wealth was estimated at over $5 million. His father died the following year.〔 Harriman graduated from Princeton University in 1885.
