Bonaparte, Jerome Napoleon (1784-1860), undated

Jérôme-Napoléon Bonaparte (1784-1860) was the youngest brother of Napoleon Bonaparte and reigned as Jerome Napoleon I, King of Westphalia, between 1807 and 1813. In 1803, he married Elizabeth Patterson (1785-1879), the daughter of William Patterson, a wealthy Baltimore merchant. The couple met during Bonaparte's visit to the United States, and were married by John Carroll, the first Catholic bishop of Baltimore. Napoleon disapproved of the match, and the marriage was annulled by 1806, leaving Elizabeth to raise her child with Jerome, Jerome Napoleon "Bo" (1805-1870), alone. In 1807, he remarried Catharina of Württemberg (1783-1835), with whom he had three more children.
