Lady Randolph Churchill
Lady Randolph Churchill, CI DStJ (9 January 1854 – 29 June 1921), born Jeanette Jerome, was the American-born English socialite, wife of Lord Randolph Churchill, and the mother of British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.
==Early life==
Jeanette "Jennie" Jerome was born in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn in 1854,〔G. H. L. Le May, 'Churchill, Jeanette (Randolph Churchill ) (1854–1921)', rev. Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2006, accessed 18 September 2010〕 the second of four daughters (one died in childhood) of financier, sportsman, and speculator Leonard Jerome and his wife Clarissa (always called Clara), daughter of Ambrose Hall, a landowner. She was raised in Brooklyn and other parts of what would become New York City. She had two surviving sisters, Clarita (1851-1935) and Leonie (born 1859). Another sister, Camille (1855-1863) died when Jennie was nine. Leonard Jerome was rumoured to also be the father of the American opera singer Minnie Hauk.〔Anne Saba, ''American Jennie'', Norton, 2008, page 13〕
There is some controversy regarding the time and place of her birth. A plaque at 426 Henry St. gives her year of birth as 1850, not 1854. However, on 9 January in 1854, the Jeromes lived nearby at number 8 Amity Street (since renumbered as 197). It is believed that the Jeromes were temporarily staying at the Henry Street address, which was owned by Leonard's brother Addison, and that Jennie was born there during a snowstorm.
A noted beauty (an admirer, Lord d'Abernon, said that there was "more of the panther than of the woman in her look" ) Jennie Jerome worked as a magazine editor in early life. Hall family lore insists that Jennie had Iroquois ancestry, through her maternal grandmother;〔Ralph G. Martin ''Jennie: The Life of Lady Randolph Churchill-The Romantic Years, 1854–1895'', 9th Printing, 1969〕 however, there is no research or evidence to corroborate this.
