Father John Vernou Bouvier III, Father of former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - Member of Book and Snake Secret Yale Society

During World War II Auchincloss worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence and the War Department and was commissioned with the rank of Lieutenant in the Naval Reserve on May 26, 1942, serving in the United States Navy during World War II.
Auchincloss was responsible for getting Jacqueline Bouvier 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 Republican Party, he contributed to the campaign of his Democratic stepson-in-law, saying "I want to live in harmony with Mrs. Auchincloss and all the other members of the family."
Auchincloss died at his home in Georgetown on November 20, 1976 and was later buried at Island Cemetery in Newport.
In May of 1951, John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy were set up at a dinner party in Georgetown, a neighborhood in Washington D.C. where the couple later settled after they married. Now the site of that momentous meeting is on the market.
