Some trees suggest that Lady Mary married the Prime Minister, Arthur James Balfour, but this is incorrect. Arthur never married, but was engaged to Miss Mary Lyttleton in his younger days. She died before they could marry and he remained faithful to her memory.
John Jacob Astor IV was the great-grandson of John Jacob Astor the fur trader. After his education at St. Paul's School, Concord and Harvard, he travelled abroad before returning to America to manage the family fortune. His lived at 840 Fifth Avenue, New York and also at Ferncliff , Rhinebeck, New York, and Beechwood, Newport, Rhode Island.
He was a property developer who in 1897 built the Astoria Hotel, New York adjoining the Waldorf Hotel built by his cousin, William Waldorf Astor, his cousin. He was also a novellist and inventor.
He became Colonel-staff to General Levi P. Morton and in 1898, was commissioned as a lieutenant colonel in the US volunteers. He donated much of his fortune to the U.S. government during the Spanish-American War.
His first marriage to Ava Willing lasted only six years and they divorced in 1909. Two years later, he married Madeleine Force, when she was just 18 yrs old. He was then aged 47. The age difference caused a small outcry so they extended their European honeymoon in Egypt and Paris and, boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg, France on 10 April 1912 to return to America.
The newly weds set sail along with a maid, Miss Rosalie Bidois, a nurse, Miss Caroline Louise Endres, his manservant, Victor Robbins, and their pet cat, Airedale.
At about quarter to midnight on Sunday 14 April, the Titanic stuck a huge iceburg. John helped Madeleine aboard lifeboat 4 and then returned to the deck to drown with the other 1,500 passengers, when the ship finally sank 2 1/2 hours later.
His body was recovered on Monday April 22 by the cable ship McKay-Bennett, and he was buried at Trinity Cemetery, New York the following month.

Extract from Volume 1 of Lady Margot Asquith’s autobiography: (Sister-in-law)
“’Tommy is one of the few people in the world that have shown me gratitude.’”
I cannot pass my brother-in-law’s name here in my diary without some reference to the effect which he produced on us when he first came to Glen.He was the finest looking man that I ever saw, except old Lord Wemyss, (The Earl of Wemyss and March, father of the present Earl) the late Lord Pembroke, Mr. Wilfrid Blunt and Lord D’Abernon. He had been introduced to my sister Charty at a ball in London, when he was twenty-one and she eighteen. A brother officer of his in the Rifle Brigade, seeing them waltzing together, asked him if she was his sister, to which he answered: “No, thank God!”
I was twelve when he first came to Glen as Thomas Lister: his fine manners, perfect sense of humour and picturesque appearance captivated every one; and, whether you agreed with him or not, he had a perfectly original point of view and was always interested and suggestive. He never misunderstood but thoroughly appreciated my father.
