Jerome Bonaparte (1784-1860), youngest of Napoleon's brothers, married Elizabeth Patterson of Baltimore in 1803. (From that union are descended the American Bonapartes.) Napoleon, however, annulled the marriage by imperial decree and Jerome was made King of Westphalia shortly after his arranged marriage to Princess Catherine of Wurtenberg in 1807. Joseph Bonaparte gave this portrait of Elizabeth Patterson to Mrs. Joseph Hopkinson.
