Henrietta Guerard Hartford

Findagrave text:

Princess Henrietta Guerard Pollitzer Pignatelli

Birth: Jan. 1, 1881, Bluffton, Beaufort County, South Carolina, USA Death: Jun. 3, 1948, Wyckoff, Bergen County, New Jersey, USA

Married Edward V. Hartford about 1909 and had two sons and one daughter, Josephine. Hartford was one of the heirs to the A & P fortune, which in the early 20th century had an estimated 16,000 stores. Hartford died in 1922 and left an estate estimated at 200 million dollars. Fifteen years later Henrietta married Prince Guido Pignatelli and thus became a princess.

Her parents were Henry C. Pollitzer & Mary Guerard. Her grandparents were Morris Pollitzer & Ann Kuh. The grandparents were living in Middletown, New York in 1860 with children, Gustave, Henry, Richard & Sigmond.

Some of the children appear to have changed their name from Pollitzer to Guerard, their mother's maiden name and and an old Charleston family name. An article found on her son Huntington says that the name was changed from Pollitzer to Guerard for social reasons.
