Eleanor Roosevelt's mother Anna Hall Roosevelt (1863-1892) with Elliott Roosevelt, Jr. (1889-1893). Anna Rebecca Hall was the eldest child of Mary Livingston Ludlow and Valentine Gill Hall. The eldest of six children, Anna was raised in a household that demanded discipline and viewed playfulness as an affront to God. Although her education was limited to etiquette and religion, at seventeen she had to take control of the family and help manage the finances after her father died suddenly without leaving a will. Anna married Elliott Roosevelt on December 1, 1883 and had three children—Anna Eleanor (1884), Elliott Bulloch (1889), and Gracie Hall (1891). She died of diphtheria on December 7, 1892 at the age of 29. Elliott Bulloch Roosevelt died of scarlet fever at the age of four.
