Marguerite du Pont de Villiers Ortiz (Mrs. Harry Clark Boden IV)
Marguerite "Carita" du Pont de Villiers Ortiz, born July 20, 1907, was a dedicated philanthropist, benefactor, leader, and a direct descendant and member of the great industrialist du Pont family in Wilmington, Delaware. Carita was a colorful member of Wilmington, Philadelphia and Washington society as a philanthropic mainstay who also undertook a handful of unique commercial ventures that included founding "Kelso Stables" in the early 1960's, a manufacturer of Formula 1 race cars. She was also a prominent member of numerous historical societies including the Order of the Three Crusades 1096-1192, the National Society Americans of Royal Descent, and the Order of the Crown of Charlemagne in the United States of America. She is best remembered for the restoration of significant and family-related properties such as Mt. Harmon Plantation, an ancestral property on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, which was later bequeathed to The National Trust for Historic Preservation and then the Friends of Mount Harmon. Married twice, Carita had three children, Eve, Zoë and Kip, six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
