This child was born in 1819 in New York City to a family of genteel New England ancestry. He was the third of eight children. When he was 7, he had scarlet fever, which impaired his eyesight.

His mother was said to have been a social climber and spendthrift. His father, ostensibly a merchant and importer, borrowed himself into bankruptcy, and then died when the boy was 12. Because of these events, he was forced to leave school, and start drifting through a variety of odd jobs to support himself, including as a clerk at his eldest brother's hat store, as a farmhand, and even as a surveyor on the Erie Canal, which was then being built. But he was at loose ends. He felt somewhat rejected and neglected by his mother, who seemed to prefer other of her children to him. He did not really like what he was doing. He had always wanted to go to college and become a "great orator", but there was no money.

Without clear direction, when he was 18, he took a job as a cabin boy on a ship that crossed the Atlantic to Great Britain. When he returned, he worked for a few years as a school teacher, and started writing. But he was still dissatisfied. He signed on as a member of the crew on a ship embarking on a three-to-four year voyage in the South Pacific. What he saw and experienced during this period of time began shaping his views of people, politics, and religion.

Over a period of time when other young men his age were in college, he was obtaining an education of a different kind. He became very much a skeptic and free thinker, questioning the injustices he saw perpetrated by so-called good Christians, such as colonization and slavery.

He later wrote about the choice to become a sailer on that long voyage:

"Some years ago-nevermind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world."

He developed a devotion to writing and literature, often using his unusual experiences as the setting for his stories.

When he was 28, he married and settled down with his wife on a farm in Massachusetts, not far from the home of a friend he would later make, another writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne. He and his wife had four children, and for a number of years, they farmed and he wrote books. Later, however, he fell out of popularity as an author, in large part because of the themes in his works, which even included male bonding, with homoerotic undertones. Still later, his marriage went on the rocks, and his eldest son accidentally shot himself.

In his last book, written when he was an old man and nearly blind, published posthumously, he returned to the themes of sailing and the sea to contemplate justice, law, and human values.

Some of his quotes are:

"There is no dignity in wickedness, whether in purple or rags;
and hell is a democracy of devils, where all are equals."

"Truth uncompromisingly told will always have its ragged edges."

"Talk not to me of blasphemy, man. I'd strike the sun if it insulted me."

Call him Ishmael, if you like. He is now recognized as one of the greatest American authors, and you might even have read one of his books, such as Moby Dick.

This child was born in a small town in Pennsylvania in 1745, the fourth child in a family of seven children. His father died when he was six, and so he was sent off to live with his maternal uncle, a Presbyterian minister who had founded a school for children. An exemplary student, he graduated from the College of New Jersey (now known as Princeton) at age 15, and then went on to study medicine, first in Philadelphia, and then London.

On the way to London, he became upset at seeing the conditions on dozens of slave ships in Liverpool Harbor. The impression this made on him would color his views and scholarship for the remainder of his life

At age 24, he returned to Philadelphia to practice medicine and teach chemistry at Philadelphia College. During this time, he also started writing articles and treatises on politics and in favor of the abolition of slavery, as well as on his scientific theories. These writings brought him to the attention of revolutionaries such as Thomas Paine, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. And so, in 1776, he was appointed as a delegate from Pennsylvania to the Continental Congress.

During the Revolutionary War, he served as Surgeon-General to the Continental Army until a falling out with General Washington ended his military career. He returned to teaching, writing, and practicing medicine, gaining prominence in the field of medicine. He married a young woman with whom he had 13 children, 9 of whom survived infancy.

He became a vocal proponent in favor of women's rights, and the rights of those with mental illnesses, as well as an outspoken opponent against the institution of slavery. He also advocated for universal health care and for education for all. He wrote the first American textbook in chemistry, and he tutored Meriwether Lewis to prepare him for the great Corps of Discovery expedition.

A deeply religious man, largely because of his maternal uncle's early influence, he disagreed with the concept of separation of church and state -- he believed that Christianity should be a part of public life as well as taught in the schools.

He wrote:

"The only foundation for a republic is to be laid in Religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments."
While many of his ideas, such as the misguided medical practice of bloodletting, have been proved wrong, his thinking in other ways has been considered to have been ahead of his time. Perhaps his greatest legacy is that of advocating for the advancement of knowledge in all areas of life, and for our government to work for the benefit of all.

Today this child is sometimes called the "father of the public school system". And because of his work as a physician on behalf of those with mental disabilities, he also is considered to be a founder of the field of psychiatry.

On the seal of the American Psychiatric Association is a silhouette of that founder. The person it belongs to was human rights advocate and signer of the Declaration of Independence,

Benjamin Rush, a boy from a "fatherless home

==============

This child was born in 1837 in New Jersey, the fifth of nine children. His mother was the daughter of a shoemaker, and his father was an itinerant preacher. The family moved frequently. The child was a happy-go-lucky boy who liked to play pranks as well as outdoor sports, and was particularly devoted to his mother and sisters.

When he was in his mid-teens, his father died, and he was forced to drop out of school and get a job to help support the family. Because he had been a good student, he was able to get a job as teaching assistant, but in order to take it, he had to leave home. He spent a year away doing this, and not liking it, wanting to return, but there were no jobs available in the small town in which his mother and sisters lived. Thus, after quitting, and then looking unsuccessfully for different work, he left home again, and obtained a job in a lawyer's office. This was lucky, because it enabled him to "read for the bar" -- a form of legal apprenticeship which was permitted in those days -- even though he had never even graduated from high school.

After passing the bar, he settled down to practice law in Buffalo, New York. He began gaining a reputation for being extraordinarily honest and principled. He also gained a reputation for being tough, as well as a bit eccentric and something of a character. But people really liked him.

He served for a while as the local prosecutor, then for some years as the town sheriff. While he held this office, he also acted as the town executioner, actually hanging two men!

Later he served as mayor of the city. Some time later, his popularity continuing to increase, he was elected governor of New York, bucking the powerful Tammany Hall political machine in New York City to achieve this.

And still later, he became President of the United States, winning the popular vote three times.

He was the only Democrat ever elected to the Presidency during the 19th Century Republican era known as "the Gilded Age". He was the most conservative Democrat president ever in office, supporting small government and big business. He was an ardent supporter of keeping America on the gold standard. He was the only President to serve two non-consecutive terms.

He also was the only President ever to be married while in office. He married for the first time when he was 51 years old -- to a woman who was only 24. They ultimately had five children together. His first child, who was born while he was in office, had a candy bar named after her.

He was the first President to be in the movies. He also liked to hunt, and named his favorite hunting rifle "Death and Destruction." And he was the only U.S. President who personally answered the White House telephone.

When he was a boy, his nickname was "Big Steve". Today we know him best by his middle name.

Stephen Grover Cleveland, a boy from a "fatherless home."

===

This child, a founding father of America and childhood friend of John Adams, was born in 1737 in what is now Quincy, Massachusetts. His father and grandfather were clergymen. When he was only 5, his father died, leaving his mother and his three siblings destitute.

Instead of offering direct help, a paternal uncle who had no children himself told her to send the boy to him to live. So she had no choice but to send the child away. While these circumstances may have seemed tragic at the time, the uncle also was one of the wealthiest merchants in the colonies. Thus the child received the finest of educations, later attending Harvard College to study law. He graduated at age 17.

When he was a young man, his uncle died and he inherited a ship-building business and his uncle's massive fortune, making him the wealthiest man in New England. He rose to high prominence in the colonies and held a number of government posts. He married a woman who was an ancestral relative of Oliver Wendell Holmes, and they had two children together. Sadly, neither one survived childhood.

As the colonial rebellions increased, because of his great investments in shipping and trading, he became more and more involved in the resistance to British rule. Ultimately, the British declared him guilty of treason, and placed a bounty on his head, which was never lifted. Thus, his stake in the success of revolution was not only that of protecting his fortune, but literally a continuing matter of life and death.

As a financier of the war, he spent more of his personal wealth to supply the Continental Army and support the Revolutionary War than did any other single individual.

After the war, he was the first governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the president of the first United States Congress under the Articles of Confederation.

He was sickly throughout most of his later adult life, and so did not participate in the drafting or signing of the U.S. Constitution. Perhaps because of this, the details of his life are not always as well-remembered or celebrated as are those of other founders of the United States.

But we do remember his name. One of the most prominent life insurance companies in America is named after him. Ten states have counties named after him. Several towns are named after him. Numerous buildings and schools have been named after him. And six U.S. naval vessels have been named after him.

By the time he died at age 55, he was already famous for his name alone. In large part, it was attributable to his signature on a certain document, prepared when he had been president of the Continental Congress -- the United States Declaration of Independence.

This child was born in Maryland in 1985, the third child after two older sisters, in an average, middle-class family. His father, a law enforcement officer, and his mother, a teacher, separated permanently when the child was seven. After years of fighting, his father abruptly moved out without further explanation. The children remained in the custody of their mother.

When he was younger, the child was considered to be hyperactive. He jumped on furniture and broke things around the house. Teachers complained about his conduct, and one said that he would never amount to anything. He also spoke with a lisp.

About the time his father left, he took up a sport in which both of his sisters also participated. His sisters helped to raise him, and served as role models, while his mother worked hard to support and encourage all of her children's efforts. Meanwhile, he rarely saw his father, who remarried and became distant and estranged.

It didn't matter.

At age fifteen, he became the youngest person ever to set a world record in a timed sport. Over the next eight years, he kept winning more events, and he kept setting records. His two sisters also grew up to become achieving and exemplary individuals.

At age 23, in an interview with the London Standard, the world's greatest Olympian said that he owes everything to his mother.

This child, the youngest in his family, was born in the mid-1800s in upstate New York. He had two older sisters; a third sister died before his birth. His father, an educator, established a small commercial college, but then died when the boy was eight. When he was 14, the boy had to drop out of school to support his mother and sisters. He first went to work as a clerk at an insurance firm, and then worked in a bank.

When he was in his early twenties, a hobby he had come to enjoy in his spare time gave rise to an invention that he worked on for three years in his mother's kitchen. A man he met through work offered to go into business with him to help market the invention. They patented the invention and formed a company together. One invention led to another, and within a few years, still another invention made the company extremely successful.

By the time he was in his fifties, this child had become one of the wealthiest men in the world. Today he is reknown for his generous financial gifts in furtherance of education and technological innovation. By the time of his death, he had donated in excess of 100 million dollars to numerous colleges and universities, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Rochester, Tuskeegee Institute, Hampton Institute, and Mechanics College (now known as the Rochester Institute of Technology). He also donated generously to the arts, museums, and in furtherance of medical services.

He also founded a charity called the Community Chest, which is now known as the United Way. Interestingly, many of his donations were made anonymously under the name of "Mr. Smith".

The original invention that gave rise to this philanthropic fortune was a method of developing photographs, another was rolled film, and another was the brownie camera, which, when put on the market in 1900, brought photography to the general public by making it easy and affordable for the first time.

On the 100th anniversary of his birth, the United States honored his memory with a postage stamp. On the wall of one of the buildings at MIT is a plaque of "Mr. Smith" that for decades students there traditionally have rubbed for good luck.

This child, widely regarded as the father of popular photography, and indisputably one of America's greatest educational philanthropists, was the founder of Eastman-Kodak,

This child, the middle child of three half-siblings with different mothers, was born in the 16th century. The child's mother died when the child was three. The child's father was rarely present, visiting with the child only a few times each year, being far more interested in his current paramours, or else away at work. The father died when the child was 13, after which this orphan primarily was raised by a stepmother and hired tutors. While still a teenager, the child was sent to prison for treason.

As an adult commanding thousands of soldiers, and on the field prior to leading them into battle, this child made a famous speech, which is one of the most quoted of all time. Part of that speech follows:

"My loving people, we have been persuaded by some, that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people.

"Let tyrants fear; I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects. And therefore I am come amongst you at this time, not as for my recreation or sport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all; to lay down, for my God, and for my kingdom, and for my people, my honor and my blood, even the dust.

"...I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too; and think foul scorn that... any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realms: to which, rather than any dishonor should grow by me, I myself will take up arms; I myself will be your general... and rewarder of every one of your virtues...

"...by your valor in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over the enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people."

This battlefield speech is remembered as particularly remarkable because the general making the speech was a woman. This woman was one of the most beloved and successful rulers in English history, first becoming monarch at a time of widespread poverty and discontent, and upon her death 45 years later, leaving a transformed country that was the most powerful and prosperous in the western world.

Queen Elizabeth I, a girl from a "fatherless home

=========

This child, the seventh of 9 children, was born in 1777 on a small farm in Virginia to a Baptist minister and his wife. When he was four years old, his father died. His childhood thereafter was impoverished. He and his siblings struggled with their mother to work their farm, and he was badly educated in a local one-room schoolhouse. One of his jobs as a boy was to ride his old horse on farm errands bringing wheat or corn to the mill. Because he did not have a saddle, he sat on a bag of wheat or corn instead and the locals derided him as the Slashes millboy.

When he was fifteen, his mother remarried, and her new husband moved the family to Richmond. The boy then got a job as a clerk in the courthouse, keeping records. Afterward, a job with a judge gave him the opportunity to read and study the law on his own. At age 21, he moved himself to Kentucky, where he began to establish himself as a lawyer. He married a young woman from one of the more prominent local families. Ultimately they had eleven children.

As a lawyer, he gained a considerable reputation for his skill at oratory. Among his many famous clients was Aaron Burr, whom he successfully defended when Burr was criminally prosecuted for planning an expedition into Spanish territory west of the Missippi.

He was elected to the Kentucky General Assembly, and while there, was in two duels himself, one of which was instigated when he had a brawl on the floor of the Assembly with another legislator.

After serving in Kentucky's legislature, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. His reputation as a lawyer and orator so preceded him that he was elected Speaker of the House on his first day in Congress -- a feat not duplicated before or since. He was re-elected five times to the House and to the speakership. During his tenure he turned the position into one of political power second only to the president of the United States. He gained national prominence as the leader of a group in Congress called the "War Hawks" who pushed the country into the War of 1812. Subsequently, he was elected to the Senate.

Although he and his family before him had been slave owners, he became known for his advocacy in favor of limiting slavery. He also achieved an extraordinary reputation as a politician for sticking to his conscience, and for getting disagreeing sides to compromise. He was the author of the Missouri Compromise restricting slavery to the southern states. He also became known for his protection of American industry against calls for unrestrained free-trade.

He ran for president several times, but although he received his party's nomination twice, he was never successful. Nevertheless, he was widely admired as a politician. Abraham Lincoln called him his "beau ideal of a statesman". He said of himself, when asked why he allowed himself to lose a bid for presidency by not just telling people what they wanted to hear, that "I would rather be right than president."

When he died in 1852, Lincoln arranged for a public tribute, calling him "freedom's champion, the champion of a civilized world."

A hundred years later, John F. Kennedy identified him as part of the "Great Triumvirate" or "Immortal Trio," along with Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun. In 1957 a Senate committee chaired by Kennedy named him as one of the five greatest senators in U.S. history.

The poor farmboy whom reknowned American icons Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy themselves looked up to as a role model was the "silver-tongued Kentuckian",

Henry Clay, a boy from a "fatherless home."
This fatherless child story was researched and co-written by Rory JSK.

This child was born in 1805 in the slums of Odense, Denmark. His father was a poor shoemaker, only 22 when he was born. His mother was illiterate, a superstitious and alcoholic washerwoman who was years older than the father and had a daughter who was a prostitute. His grandmother liked to tell stories, including one that the family was related to royalty. Both of his parents spoiled the child, and although he did learn to read and write, that was his only childhood education. The entire family lived in one room.

From an early age he would make up his own stories and write and perform plays. He would memorize entire plays of Shakespeare and perform them in his makeshift toy theatre at home. He also liked to sing. He was a somewhat strange boy, dyslexic, tall, and effeminate, with a soprano voice. He became quite well known in his neighborhood for his reciting and acting. He also was highly emotional, and a bit of a hypochondriac, given to attacks of fits and cramps.

When he was 11, his father died in a fire, and at that point he had to go out and work. He worked as an apprentice to a weaver and a tailor, and then in a cigarette factory, where his co-workers once insisted that he was really a girl and actually pulled down his pants to check.

When he was fourteen, he convinced his mother to let him leave home for Copenhagen to try to become an actor and singer on the stage. He ultimately failed at this endeavor, but he did meet many people, some who were kind and some who abused him. One man convinced him that he was supposed to be a writer, not an actor, and also that he should go to school.

The boy actually published a story before he first started to attend grammar school at the age of 17, funded by this same benefactor. It was a boarding school -- he lived in the home of the schoolmaster. He was a bad student, and of a ridiculously old age to be in grammar school, and so he hated it. The school master also hated him. Nevertheless he persisted in attending the school for seven years until he passed his graduation exams. All the while he continued writing. Once he graduated, his hard times were over.

His published plays, novels and short stories steadily gained him attention in higher and higher circles in his country. The stories he wrote often were metaphors for things in his own life, and often had morality lessons in them.

The boy never married, being somewhat strange in his relationships with both men and women, although he often professed himself to be in love with this or that person. He spent much of his life living in the homes of wealthy patrons, where he continued his writing, which brought him international fame by his late 30s.

By the time he died at the age of 70, he left the world a collection of some of its best-loved literature for both adults and children, including short stories that shaped generations of cultural reference and remain well-known today. The author of "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Little Mermaid", "Thumbelina", "The Little Match Girl", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Red Shoes", "The Emperor's New Clothes", and many, many others was the father of the modern fairy tale,
