James Roosevelt, Jr.

:"For the Massachusetts attorney and grandson of Franklin Roosevelt, see James Roosevelt, Jr. (lawyer)."James "Rosy" Roosevelt, Jr. (1854 – 1927) was the eldest son of James Roosevelt and his first wife, Rebecca Howland (1831 – 1876), who happened to be James Sr.'s second cousin. He was also the half brother of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Roosevelt's mother died in 1876. When his father died in 1900, the estate was split between both James and his younger brother, Franklin.

He served as Secretary of the United States Legation at Vienna and as Secretary of the Embassy at London.
