On March 17, 1905, Roosevelt married Eleanor despite the fierce resistance of his mother. Eleanor's uncle, Theodore Roosevelt, stood in at the wedding for Eleanor's deceased father Elliott. The young couple moved into Springwood, his family's estate, where FDR's mother became a frequent house guest, much to Eleanor's chagrin. Franklin was a charismatic, handsome and socially active man. In contrast, Eleanor was shy and disliked social life, and at first stayed at home to raise their children. They had six children in rapid succession: * Anna Eleanor (1906-1975; age 69) * James (1907-1991; age 84) * Franklin Delano, Jr. (March 3, 1909-November 7, 1909; age 249 days) * Elliott (1910-1990; age 80) * a second Franklin Delano, Jr. (1914-1988; age 74) * John Aspinwall (1916-1981; age 65).
