Jérôme Napoléon Bonaparte (London, 5 July 1805 – Baltimore, 17 June 1870) was a son of Elizabeth Patterson and Jérôme Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon I.〔Marshall, Bill, and Cristina Johnston. (France and the Americas: Culture, Politics, and History : a Multidisciplinary Encyclopedia ). Santa Barbara, Calif: ABC-CLIO, Inc, 2005. "Jérôme Napoléon Bonaparte was born in England on July 7, 1805. Betsy and her son returned to Baltimore in September 1805. At Napoléon's behest, Jérôme married Princess Catherine of Württemberg in August 1807." - Page 162. Retrieved 22 November 2015.〕 He was born in 95 Camberwell Grove, Camberwell, London, England, but lived in the United States with his wealthy American mother. Jérôme's mother's marriage had been annulled by order of Jérôme's uncle, French Emperor Napoleon I. The annulment caused the rescission of his right to carry the Bonaparte name; though the ruling was later reversed by his cousin, Napoleon III. It is speculated that Jérôme's prospective title is a reason the 11th Congress of the United States in 1810 proposed the Titles of Nobility Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would strip an American of his citizenship if he accepted a title of nobility from a foreign nation. The amendment has never been approved, lacking the approval of only two state legislatures at that time. He married Susan May Williams, and it is from them that the American line of the Bonaparte family descended. They had two sons: *Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte II (1830-1893), officer in the armies of both the United States and France, had issue; *Charles Joseph Bonaparte (1851-1921), United States Attorney General and Secretary of the Navy, no issue. He graduated from Mount St. Mary's College (now Mount St. Mary's University) in 1817〔Edward Francis Xavier McSweeny. (The Story of the Mountain: Mount St. Mary's College and Seminary ).
