Eleanor Randolph Wilson McAdoo (October 16, 1889 – April 5, 1967) was the youngest daughter of US President Woodrow Wilson and Ellen Louise Axson. Wilson had two sisters, Margaret Woodrow Wilson and Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre. She was an American author who wrote about her father.
Biography
Born in Middletown, Connecticut, she married Wilson's Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo at the White House on May 7, 1914.[1] They had a daughter Ellen Wilson McAdoo (1915–1946)[2] and a second daughter, Mary Faith McAdoo (1920–1988).[3] She divorced McAdoo in 1934.[4]
Because she had written a biography about her father, she served as an informal counselor on the 1944 biopic Wilson.[5] In 1965, she became largely incapacitated after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage.
McAdoo died at her home in Montecito, California, at 77.[6] She was interred at the Santa Barbara Cemetery, Santa Barbara, California.
