Hugh D. Auchincloss

Hugh Dudley Auchincloss, Jr. (August 15, 1897 – November 20, 1976) was an American stockbroker and lawyer.

Auchincloss was born at Hammersmith Farm in Newport, Rhode Island. He was the son of Hugh Dudley Auchincloss (1858 - 1913), a merchant and financier, and Emma Brewster Jennings, daughter of Oliver B. Jennings, a founder of Standard Oil. He had two older sisters: Esther Judson Auchincloss and Ann Burr Auchincloss.

Auchincloss graduated from Yale University in 1920 and earned a law degree from Columbia University in 1924. He served in the United States Navy during World War I and worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence and the War Department during World War II.

His first marriage, from June 4, 1925 to 1932, was to Maya de Chrapovitsky, a Russian noblewoman. They had one child, Hugh D. "Yusha" Auchincloss III (born 1927). His second, from 1935 to 1941, was to Nina S. Gore (1903 - 1978), mother of author Gore Vidal. They had two children, Nina Gore Auchincloss (born 1935) and Thomas Gore Auchincloss (born 1937). On June 21, 1942, he married Janet Lee Bouvier, mother of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. They had two children, Janet Jennings Auchincloss (1945 - 1985) and James Lee Auchincloss (born 1947).

Auchincloss was responsible for the then Jacqueline Bouvier getting her first job in journalism at the "Washington Times-Herald". He gave her away at her wedding to future president John F. Kennedy, the reception of which was held at Hammersmith Farm on September 12, 1953. A long-time financial contributor to the US Republican Party, he contributed to the campaign of his Democratic son-in-law, saying "I want to live in harmony with Mrs. Auchincloss and all the other members of the family."
