On 14 May 1829, in Warsaw, Natalia married Prince Roman Sanguszko, the son of the vice-brigadier of the National Cavalry from Sławuta. They had a daughter, Maria Klementyna Sanguszko (1830-1903), who married Count Alfred Józef Potocki on 18 March 1851 in Sławuta.[1]
Potocka was awarded the Order of the Starry Cross. Shortly after Natalia's birth, the Potocki family renamed their estate (Bażantarnia) to Natolin in her honor, which today is a residential neighborhood in Warsaw's Ursynów.[2] Natalia died a year after her marriage and a few months after giving birth to her daughter.[3] Her monument-sarcophagus, created by Ludwik Kauffmann and funded by Natalia's father, Aleksander Stanisław Potocki, between 1834 and 1838, is located in the Natolin Park.[4]
