Adelaide Milton de Groot (1876-1967) was the daughter of William de Groot, a ship owner employed in the China trade and his second wife Elizabeth King Hawley. A painter, art collector and philanthropist, Miss de Groot was born in New York City and moved with her family to Nice, France in 1891. She lived in Europe for forty years before returning to New York in 1933. Her New York cousins included yachtsman, composer and photographer Frank Seymour Hastings and his brother the noted architect Thomas Hastings, who were the sons of Reverend Thomas Samuel Hastings and Fanny de Groot. Adelaide de Groot's sister Elizabeth married an Italian diplomat, Guilio Caravadossi, the Count of Aspremonte. After de Groot's return to New York, she pursued an interest in her family's genealogy.
