Victorine du Pont was the eldest child of Alfred Victor du Pont, senior partner in E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, and his wife Margaretta Lammot. She attended the boarding school of Charles Picot in Philadelphia (1840-1841) and in 1849 married Peter Kemble, the son of William Kemble, the company's New York business agent. She resided in New York until her death in 1887. One of her daughters, Meta, married the New York artist Lockwood de Forest in 1880. During the next two years, the couple traveled extensively in India, where Lockwood de Forest established a shop producing architectural woodwork for export.
