He was the youngest son of Louisa Gerhard du Pont (1816-1900) and General Henry du Pont (1812-1889), who was the third president of the DuPont Company. From 1869 to 1872, William du Pont attended the Lake Mohegan boarding school in New York State, and in 1872, he was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). However, he left MIT at the beginning of the 1873 spring semester due to medical problems with his eye. William du Pont became involved in the family business in 1876. As an assistant to his father, DuPont Company president Henry du Pont, he managed the company's farms, developing skills instrumental in his future activities in horse and cattle breeding. His work in explosives manufacturing began in 1880, when he was appointed to help his cousin Lammot du Pont (1831-1884) in the first du Pont high explosives (dynamite) enterprise, Repauno Chemical Company. At first, William du Pont was the company's secretary and treasurer (1880-1884); then, after Lammot du Pont's tragic death on March 29, 1884, he became president from 1884 to 1892. At the same time, he performed treasurer and presidential duties for the Hercules Powder Company and the Torpedo Company, which were also associated with Lammot du Pont. After his father died in 1889, he gave up his partnership in the DuPont Company and resigned from Repauno, Hercules and the Torpedo companies. In 1914, he returned for a short period of time to active duty as the director and the chairman of the Financial Committee of the E.I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Company. However, in March 1916, together with his cousin Alfred I. du Pont (1864-1935), he was expelled from the committee and the board due to their conflict with the company's new president, his coutsin Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954). William du Pont's last involvement with the explosives industry was his investment and directorship, from 1919 through 1926, in the U.S. Flashless Powder Company (a.k.a. U.S.F. Powder Company), a company organized by his cousins Francis I. du Pont (1873-1942) and Ernest du Pont (1880-1944) to develop and manufacture powder for night gunfire. In 1916, William du Pont, together with his cousin Alfred I. du Pont, bought the Delaware Trust Company. He remained affiliated with it for the next twelve years as its vice president (1916-1920), president (1920-1922), and chairman of the board (1923-1928). From 1917, he was on the board of directors of the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Company of Baltimore, also. His previous involvement in the banking business included service on the board of directors and on the Executive Committee of the Equitable Guarantee & Trust Company of Wilmington, Delaware in the late 1880s through the early 1890s. As for his personal life, in 1878, William du Pont married his cousin May Lammot du Pont (1854-1927), the daughter of Victor du Pont (1828-1888) and Alice Hounsfield du Pont (1833-1904). The couple divorced in 1892 in South Dakota. He spent six month in that state in order to have residency for the divorce. In June 1892, he married Annie Rogers Zinn (1858-1927), the daughter of the locomotive maker Theodore Rogers (1829-1871) and Mary Andrews Rogers (1836-1918). Annie Rogers Zinn was the divorced wife of George Zinn (1842-1899) of New Castle, Delaware. William and Annie du Pont, alienated by the du Pont family and Wilmington society, left the United States and settled in Europe - Page 4- William du Pont family photographs 2007.205 for ten years. The couple had two children: a daughter, Marion du Pont Somerville Scott (1894-1983) and a son, William du Pont Jr. (1896-1965), and supported a son from her previous marriage, George Zinn (1883-1929). While living in England, the family maintained their home at "Bellevue Hall" near Wilmington, and in 1900, purchased a home in Virginia named "Montpelier," formerly owned by the fourth President of the United States, James Madison. The family moved there in the beginning of 1902. du Pont was affiliated through founding and board positions in the banking and railroad industry. He played a significant role in the American horse and cattle breeding industry. He performed judging duties at numerous horse shows around the country and financed prizes and awards. Also, he was a member of various hunting, yachting, and social clubs. As a member of the American Game Protective and Propagation Association, William du Pont worked in support of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. William du Pont died on January 20, 1928, at his estate Altama, near Brunswick, Georgia. His wife, Annie Rogers du Pont, had died in London a year earlier on January 22, 1927. William du Pont, Jr. was the youngest child of William du Pont (1865-1928) and his second wife Annie Rogers Zinn du Pont (1858-1827). He was born on February 11, 1896, in Loseley Park, Guildford, Surrey County, England, where his parents lived from 1892 until 1902. His childhood was spent in England and then at Montpelier, Virginia, the estate purchased by William du Pont in 1902. This was the former residence of United States President James Madison. The family spent time at Bellevue, an estate north of Wilmington, Delaware, which William du Pont had inherited from his father Henry du Pont (1812-1889). William du Pont, Jr. married Jean Liseter Austin (1897-1988)

  • Du Pont Family
    GENEALOGY of the DU PONT FAMILY 1739-1949 Copyright 1943 by PIERRE S. DU PONT Designed and Printed by HAMBLETON COMPANY, INC. Wilmington, Delaware 1949 GENEALOGY of the DUPONT FAMILY HIS WORK is one of compilation only. Members of the du Pont family have furnished Tthe information necessary for complete and accurate results and have earned thereby the gratitude of their fellow members. To Henry A. du Pont we are indebted for the greater part of our information con­ cerning the generations of the family prior to the year 1739. His voluminous work UThe Early Generations of the Du Pont and Allied Families" is of inestimable value. The collection of the genealogical data in chart form was started by Coleman du Pont in cooperation with Ferdinand La Motte, Sr., more than twenty-five years ago. Much in­ formation was supplied from the photograph album of the du Pont £e,mily compiled by Louisa du Pont Copeland about 1900. This album was republished and brought up to date by William Winder Laird, Jr., in 1935. These workers deserve our thanks for their part in this undertaking. Bessie Gardner du Pont's interest and years of work in examining and translating letters and documents continues to hold fust place in its inspiration for continued study of family history. Much of the _present work is due to her example and to the accuracy of her pen. Much of the credit for securing the information necessary to make this revised edition of the genealogy as complete and up-to-date as possible is due to Miss Aileen du Pont, who has spent much time and effort in obtaining data from various branches of the family.
