Biographical Note
Ferdinand Bauduy was the son of Peter Bauduy (1769?-1833), business partner of E.I. du Pont, and Theresa Bretton des Chapelles (1773-1837). Victorine's father did not approve of the courtship, so Bauduy was sent to France for two years. The couple remained committed to each other, and E.I. relented when Bauduy returned. He died shortly after his marriage to Victorine from pneumonia.
