John Jacob Astor II (1791-1868)
Confined to a house on 14th Street, New York City; died unmarried
Despite being the eldest son, he was described as "feeble-minded" and was not invited to join the family business (although he was a Director of the New York Juvenile Asylum from 1856 to 1859). He lived under the charge of an attendant in a house surrounded by high walls on Fourteenth Street." He died unmarried.
