Rose Adele Cutts grew up in Washington D.C.; Dolley Madison was her great aunt. She met the widowed Senator Stephen A. Douglas in 1856, and they wed after a short courtship. His fortune supported her salon, and together they commanded substantial political power. She traveled with her husband during the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates in Illinois, and she and Stephen became friends with Lincoln. She also traveled with her husband during the 1860 presidential campaign. In 1861, Stephen died. Five years after his death, she married Captain Robert Williams, a career army officer from Virginia who had remained loyal to the Union. She took on the life of an army wife, and raised their six children in the western territories. Williams ended his long career in 1893 as Adjutant General of the Army. She is buried in Arlington Cemetery.
