You can tell Halsey is from a prominent family, otherwise the Times would not have listed an out of state wedding.

They are indeed a prominent family.

By coincidence I researched Halsey family genealogy (the New Jersey branch) for a town history project a few years ago.

The Halseys of my town were very prominent and very wealthy throughout the 1800s; one here fought in the Civil War (and I put a flag on his grave in our historic cemetery).

Admiral "Bull" Halsey, commander of the U.S. Third Fleet in the South Pacific during WWII, is one of the more recent famous Halseys. Admiral Halsey's slogans were "Kill Japs, Kill Japs, Kill More Japs!" and "Hit hard, hit fast, hit often."

But recent descendants of our local Halsey branch have gone far, far to the Left. They left NJ for New England and became wealthy advocates for international "family planning" (read: abortion); and for "understanding" with the Soviet Union.
