- He continued the tradition of keeping the Roosevelt name in the family when he married Helen Roosevelt, a niece of Franklin D. Roosevelt. She was born Sept. 26, 1881, to James and Helen Astor Roosevelt. Theodore and Helen continued to live at Henderson House in his parent's tradition. He was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Coolidge and devoted 14 years to the service of Herkimer County, first as State Assemblyman and then as State Senator. They had four children. Of them, a baby girl named Martha Douglas Robinson was born on Feb. 4, 1912, and sadly died a month later on March 5. She is buried next to her parents in the Robinson Cemetery. Theodore died on April 10, 1934. Helen died July 8, 1962, and was the last of the family line to live in the mansion.
