Theodore and Mittie had two daughters and two sons. His eldest child was Anna, nicknamed "Bamie" as a child and "Bye," as an adult for being always on the go. His eldest son was Theodore, Jr. born at 28 East 20th Street in the modern-day Gramercy section of New York City on October 27, 1858. He also had a second son, Elliott (the father of future First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt) and a second daughter Corinne (grandmother to columnists Joseph and Stewart Alsop).
