Count Wolston Pierre Stuart de Beaumont (August 1, 1915 – December 4, 2010), aka Pete de Beaumont, was an American mechanical engineer who was a founder of Brookstone, a chain of specialty stores.〔As a child, traveling with his mother, Beaumont's full name is given on the 1 October 1928 passenger manifest of the S S ''Leviathan''; accessed on ancestry.com on 23 March 2011.〕〔Career as mechanical engineer cited in ''The Monthly Supplement'' (International Who's Who, 1951), page 307〕
==Birth and childhood==
He was born in New York City, New York, the only child of Count François de Beaumont (died 1918), a French nobleman, and his American wife, the former Aedita Stuart (1889–1985), a daughter of U. S. diplomat Richard Stuart.〔Aedita Stuart's father's name is stated in the Bud Fisher entry of ''The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography'', Volume 43 (University Microfilms, 1967). Her birthdate, 5 August 1889, is cited in the U. S. Social Security Death Index, as is her death date, October 1985; accessed on familysearch.org on 23 March 2011.〕 The Beaumonts were divorced shortly after their son's birth, and the father was killed in action during World War I.〔Aedita Stuart's divorce from François de Beaumont is stated in the Bud Fisher entry of ''The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography'', Volume 43 (University Microfilms, 1967). The divorce is further noted in ''The Art Digest'', 1 December 1931, page 12〕 Mother and son moved to the United States in 1919, where the mother pursued a brief career as a stage actress, using the name Gypsy Norman. She also appeared in at least one silent film, Fox Film Corp.'s ''Gentle Julia'' (1923), and wrote a three-act play called ''To Hell with Love''.〔''The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures Produced in the United States'', Part 1 (University of California Press, 1997), page 284〕〔''Catalogue of Copyright Entries'', Part I (U. S. Govt. Print. Off., 1929), page 282〕
On 25 October 1925 Aedita de Beaumont married Bud Fisher, the creator of the comic strip ''Mutt and Jeff'', but the couple parted after four weeks.〔"Private Lives", ''Life'' magazine, 28 December 1936, page 62〕 Since they were legally separated from 8 February 1927 until Fisher's death in 1954 and did not divorce, the rights to the strip passed to Aedita de Beaumont (as she continued to be known) and then to her son. 〔Date of legal separation cited in ''Who was Who in America, with World Notables'', Volume 12 (Marquis Who's Who, 1960), page 283〕
