<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 68089, member: 121"]Most of these fellows were big in (Republican) politics - but more in the "What can I make it out of it" sort of Republican politics..........the legal followers of the Robber Barons of the mid to late 1800s..........which of course is how my grandfather knew them.............and the families of at least two of them went absolutely broke in 1929. If I remember correctly, none of those families, or at least the two we were close to, had very deep American roots (DAR, SAR, Knickerbockers, etc). I believe that they were considered "new money" in the 1830s-60s. At least one of them had family associated with the Park Ave Armory in NYC. More than that I don't remember, but the train of thought is getting me a bit closer to the papers I have that may assist...............maybe not............but I will keep trying[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
