From the Cravath, Swaine & Moore Firm History: Roswell Levitt Gilpatric was born November 4, 1906, in Brooklyn, N. Y., the son of Walter Hodges and Charlotte Leavitt Gilpatric.

After Attending Public School No. 102 in Brooklyn, Roswell attended Poly Preparatory Country Day School from 1917 to 1920, when the family moved to White Plains. There he attended the high school for two years and then went to Hotchkiss School, graduating in 1924. His duties as a scholarship boy, which included waiting on tables and cleaning rooms, kept down his participation in extracurricular activities at Hotchkiss, but he was a member of the Cum Laude Society.
