Notities over Carlo Maria Bonaparte

La famille Bonaparte ("Buonaparte" ce qui la rattache probablement à une ancienne famille du parti Guelfe), originaire de Sarzane, près de Gênes, s'installa en Corse vers le milieu du XVIème siècle, où elle se rattachait à la petite noblesse de robe.
En 1771, après que la République de Gènes ait transféré, en 1768, à titre de garantie de créance, l'usufruit du Royaume de Corse à la France, la famille Bonaparte vit ses titres confirmés par le Conseil supérieur de Corse et ainsi agrégée à la noblesse française.

==================

Origins
The Bonaparte or Buonaparte family originally comes from Florence. In the 16th c., Francesco Buonaparte, from Sarzana in Tuscany, settled in Corsica which was then a Genoese possession. In 1768 the island was sold to France.
Carlo-Maria (Charles-Marie) Buonaparte (1746-85) was a minor official in the local courts. His nobility was confirmed in 177*. The arms of the Buonaparte family were: Gules two bends sinister between two stars or.

He married Laetizia Ramolino (1750-1836) in 1764 and by her had 8 surviving children, the second of whom was Napoleon Bonaparte.
In 1804 Napoleon changed the arms of his family to Azure an imperial eagle or. The family name became Napoleon. Were included in these changes all the members of his family which were officially part of the Imperial family, namely all his siblings except Lucien Bonaparte, as well as the child of Jérôme Bonaparte by his first (and unauthorized) marriage.
The current head of the family is the prince Napoleon (Charles, b. 1950), great-great-grandson of Jérôme by his second marriage; he has a son Jean (b. 1986) and a brother Jérôme (b. 1957), unmarried. There are no remaining descendants in male line from any other of Napoleon's brothers.
The Bonapartes of Baltimore
Jérôme Bonaparte (1784-1860), Napoleon's youngest brother, was a lieutenant in the French Navy in 1803, fighting in the Carribbean. To avoid capture by the British he was forced to land in the US: he arrived in New York, and then went to Baltimore to meet an American whom he befriended in the French Navy. There, he met Elizabeth Patterson (1785-1879), daughter of William, Irish immigrant, gun-runner during the Revolution and by then the wealthiest man in Maryland after Charles Carroll of Carrolton. They met at a party, fell in love, and within 2 months got married (he was 19, she was 18). The marriage took place on Christmas Eve 1803, in the Baltimore Cathedral, with the archbishop of Baltimore performing the ceremony.
Jerome's brother Napoleon (not yet emperor) was furious: he intended to marry off his family according to his political designs. He had the marriage annulled by the French courts, ordered his brother back without "the young person". Jerome went back, with Betsy: she was denied landing in continental Europe and had to go to London, where she gave birth to a son in 1805. Jerome gave in to his brother, returned to the French Navy and forgot about Betsy. He was subsequently made an Imperial Prince, married Frederica Catherine, daughter of the King of Württemberg in 1807, and became King of Westphalia (1807-13). Betsy returned to Baltimore with her son.
The said son had two sons, one became a colonel in his cousin Napoleon II's army, the other was Attorney General of the US from 1906 to 1909 and died in 1921. The colonel's only son died in 1945, thus ending the line. The current Imperial Pretender is a descendant of Jerome by his second marriage.

Other Bonapartes in America
In June 1815, after Waterloo, Joseph (1768-1844), one-time king of Spain, managed to hire an American ship in Rochefort, on the Atlantic Coast of France. He intended to sail to America with the Emperor, but Napoleon preferred to ask asylum from the British (ha!). Joseph sailed on, leaving Royan on July 25, and reaching New York, and later Philadelphia, to finally settle in Bordentown, NJ. Joseph also bought some land in the Adirondack mountains, in upstate New York, and there is still a lake up there, called lake Bonaparte. He lived in Bordentown until 1832, when he returned to Europe to follow the events more closely after the death of Napoleon's son, which made him the heir to the family's imperial claims. He returned briefly to the US in 1837-39 and then went to Italy where he died. He had two daughters, who both married cousins: Charlotte (1802-39) married Napoléon-Louis (1804-31), son of Louis Bonaparte and brother of Napoleon III, and left no children. The other daughter, Zénaïde (1801-54), married Charles-Lucien (1803-57), son of Lucien, prince of Canino in 1840. It seems that brains were hereditary in most of Lucien's branch. Charles-Lucien joined his father-in-law and uncle Joseph in New Jersey in 1822, and lived there until 1828, indulging in his passion: ornithology (he became a friend of Audubon, and published a 4 volume History of the Birds of America from 1825 to 1833). He went to Italy in 1828, then returned to France in 1849. His male descendance died out in 1899. Another son of Lucien, Louis-Lucien, was a philologist who published on English dialects and the Basque language. A grandson of Lucien, Roland (1858-1924), last male descendant of Lucien, published on glaciers: his only daughter Marie (1882-1962) was the psychoanalyst, married to prince George of Greece.
Another piece of the Bonaparte family came to the US: the two sons of Caroline, sister of the Emperor, and Joachim Murat, king of Naples. The eldest, Achille (1801-47), settled and died childless in Tallahassee, FL. The other, Napoléon-Lucien (1803-72) returned to France during the 2d Empire, after having married an American, Caroline Georgina Fraser, and his posterity still lives in France, bearing the title of prince Murat, and where they intermingle with other descendants of Napoleon's marshals (Ney, Berthier, Suchet, Mouton, etc). His Highness the Prince Louis Murat chairs the committee that organizes the mass in memory of Napoleon and his soldiers, every year on May 5, at Napoleon's tomb (an interesting event...).
