Notes about Waldorf Astor 2nd Viscount Astor

http://en.geneastar.org/genealogie/?refcelebrite=langhornen&celebrite=Nancy-ASTOR

First woman to sit as a member of parliament (MP) in the British House of Commons

Nancy was born Nancy Witcher Langhorne at the Langhorne House in Danville, Virginia, in the United States to Chiswell Dabney Langhorne and Nancy Witcher Keene. Chiswell's earlier business venture had depended at least in part upon slave labour, and the outcome of the American Civil War caused the family to live in near-poverty for several years before Nancy was born. After her birth her father began working to regain the family wealth, first with a job as an auctioneer and later with a job that he obtained with the railroad by using old contacts from his work as a contractor. By the time she was thirteen years old, the Langhornes were again a rich family with a sizeable home. Chiswell Langhorne later moved the family to their estate, known as Mirador, in Albemarle County, Virginia.
