Ulysses S. Grant was a devoted family man. He and his wife Julia had four
children and were fortunate not to lose any of them to an early death, as
was so often in the case in those days of untreatable diseases and
lack of the kind of medical care we take for
granted today. They were proud of their children and the children
respected them. One author observed that the whole family was "one big
mutual admiration society." Here is a chronology of the Grant children.
Graduated from Harvard University in 1874, and from the Law School of
Columbia University in 1876.
Married Fannie Josephine Chaffee in 1880. Children: Miriam, Chaffee,
Julia, Fannie, Ulysses IV.

May Sartoris Scovel, Rosemary Alice Sartoris Woolston. She moved to
England, but the marriage proved a failure and she returned to the
United States and lived with her mother until the latter's death.
In 1912 she married Frank Hatch Jones, first Assistant Postmaster
