How many children did Victoria Woodhull have and what happened to them? Does she have any living descendants?
Victoria had two children by her first husband, Dr. Woodhull. They are Byron Woodhull, born December 31, 1854, in Chicago, IL, and Zula Maud, born April 28, 1861, at 53 Bond Street in New York City. Zula’s name is sometimes given as Zulu Maude. Byron received a head injury as a toddler. It damaged his brain for life. (He may also have been adversely affected by his father’s alcoholism.) He was incapable of working and was in the care of various relatives all his life. His final years were spent in England under the financial care of his mother. After his mother’s death, his sister Zula cared for him. Byron died Jan. 17, 1932 in Hove Brighton, Sussex, England. Zula tried to follow her mother’s footsteps. She wrote a play. She even edited one of her mother’s newspapers, but she could never get out of the shadow of her mother’s fame. She died unmarried in England in September 1940. Victoria Woodhull has no living direct descendants.
