Notes |
- Renewed his fortune by becoming one of Virginia's foremost railroad tycoons.
C.D. Langhorne bought the fabulous country estate "Mirador" in 1892 and returned to the genteel lifestyle of mint juleps and horseback riding that his ancestors had enjoyed for generations. At his death in 1919, Chiswell Dabney Langhorne, in addition to his numerous estates including Mirador and Greenfields, left a trust for his heirs of over 1,000,000 dollars.
was a Virginian gentleman and Civil War veteran, who for many years had to struggle for a living in Danville, Virginia, working as a tobacco auctioneer. Later, through a lucky personal contact, he made good as a railroad manager, and then acquired the delightful estate of Mirador, under the Blue Ridge Mountains. He was a rough, patriarchal character, with the gift of the gab. His wife, Nannie (or Nanaire) Witcher, was equally strong-willed, but gentler and more sensitive, with an artistic streak. Colonel and Mrs Langhorne brought up nine children, among whom the girls had the edge in personality as well as numbers.
Much of their story has been told before, and in particular a great deal has been written about Nancy Astor, both as a politician and as a private woman (in so far as she was capable of existing as such). Her impact on her children was subtly described by one of them, Michael, in his remarkable book Tribal Feeling.
