Surname: Northam
DH: Joseph William (20)
DW: Grace Elizabeth (18)
DS: Jack William (b. 1900)
Joseph, son of Charles and Margaret Northam, comes from a long line of "old money", stretching as far back as medieval English nobility. His grandfather, after having emigrated from England in 1847 and settling in Boston, made his fortune in the shipping and maritime trade industry. As the oldest of five, and with his father already deceased, Joseph stands to inherit most of his grandfather's empire within a few years.
Grace, daughter of Henry and Anne Chamberlain, is related by marriage to the illustrious Crowninshields, and though her family not counted among the Boston Brahmin, the mere link has had its influence. Her father was a powerful and successful attorney and had been considering running for Congress until deteriorating health sidelined his political plans. Her mother was the daughter of a distinguished Navy admiral and had inherited a vast estate from her entrepreneur grandfather. Needless to say, Grace's family was more than well-off.
Both Joseph and Grace were introduced to the high-class social life of Boston at a young age and socialized with the elites on a regular basis. They met at an art gallery opening in 1898, when Joseph was 18 and Grace was 16. Their connection was instantaneous, and a mere four months after their initial meeting, Joseph asked Grace's father for permission to marry her. Both parties agreed that it was indeed a smart match, and the couple were wed later that year.
In 1900, Grace gave birth to their first child, a boy whom they named Jack in honor of Joseph's grandfather. Like any proud parents, Joseph and Grace wasted no time in showing off their son to family and friends.
