Julia Boggs Dent was born January 26, 1826 at St. Louis, Missouri, the daughter of plantation owner Frederick Dent and his wife, Ellen Bray Wrenshall Dent. The family had a house in town, as well as a flourishing plantation outside of St. Louis (White Haven), and Julia spent time at both. For several years she attended school in St. Louis.

Julia Dent and Ulysses S. Grant

As a cadet at West Point, Ulysses Grant had been a classmate of Julia’s brother Frederick, and on a visit to the Dent home, he met Julia. While the couple soon decided to marry, their families did not approve. Her father objected to Grant as a career soldier with limited prospects; his father did not approve because the Dents were slaveholders. In fact, Grant's parents did not attend the wedding, though later they relented and welcomed Julia to the family. Julia (age 22) and Ulysses (age 26) were married on August 22, 1848, after a four-year courtship.

Children of Julia and Ulysses S. Grant
