The Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans: Volume I BONAPARTE, Jerome Napoleon, soldier, was born in Baltimore, Md., in 1832; son of Jerome Napoleon and Susan May (Williams) Bonaparte. He was graduated from the West Point military academy in 1852, and, until his resignation two years later, served on the western frontier with the mounted rifles. In 1854 he entered as 2d lieutenant the seventh dragoons of the Imperial French army. He served in the Crimean war in 1854-'55, as engineer at Balaklava, Inkermann, Tchernaia and the siege of Sebastopol, and for distinguished services was promoted to a colonelcy, decorated by the Sultan of Turkey with the Medjidie order, made knight of the Legion of Honor of France, and received the Crimean medal from the Queen of England. He afterwards served with distinction in the Algerian and Italian campaigns. Colonel Bonaparte was in the guard of the Empress of France from 1867-'71, but upon the fall of the empire he with difficulty escaped with his life from the Commune in Paris. At the close of the war in 1871 he returned to America, and was married in the same year at Newport, R. I., to Mrs. Caroline Edgar, formerly Miss Appleton, grand-daughter of Daniel Webster. He died at Pride's Crossing, Mass., Sept. 3, 1893.
