Arabella Kennedy is the eldest child of President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy. She was born on August 23, 1956, and died on that same day. She was a stillborn baby. She had three siblings, all born after her death; John F. Kennedy Jr., Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, and Patrick Bouvier Kennedy; the latter lived only two days. Arabella was reintered at Arlington National Cemetery after the assassination and death of her father, and is buried beside her brother, father and mother. Her death is considered part of the "Kennedy Curse". She was never officially named, and her tombstone reads "DAUGHTER" only. However, her name is always given as Arabella, the name intended for the Kennedy daughter. She also had an older sibling, in a manner of speaking, depending on whether or not Jack and Jackie's miscarried child is counted as such. Obviously, she never lived to see her siblings, or even her parents, as she had died either while inside of her mother's womb, or during the birthing process. She remains buried at Arlington to this day.
