James Roosevelt Roosevelt, Junior. was born on August 20, 1879. He was the son of diplomat James Roosevelt "Rosey" Roosevelt (1854–1927) of the Roosevelt family and Helen Schermerhorn Astor (1855–1893) of the Astor family.
He and Franklin both attended Groton School and Harvard University, with Tadd being ahead of Franklin.
He had a sister, Helen Rebecca Roosevelt (1881–1962). He was only three years older than Franklin. Their kinship led to Franklin often being mockingly referred to as "Uncle Frank" while the two attended Groton together.
Tadd inherited $1,500,000 (equivalent to approximately $39,505,556 in 2016 dollars) from his mother in 1893.
Roosevelt died on June 7, 1958.
