From Roucan to Riches: The Rise of the Glassell Family

English

By (author): David McKenzie Robertson

From Roucan to Riches traces the story of the Glassell family from their obscure beginnings as humble Scots tenant farmers, through two brothers who made a fortune from tobacco in Virginia, and on to their descendants who made their mark in varied and interesting ways. 
As the American Revolution loomed, one brother returned to Scotland and the other remained. 
John settled as a rural Scottish landowner in Longniddry, East Lothian, and demolished the village in the name of agricultural improvement. His daughter was educated in Edinburgh during its Golden Age, and knew many of its greatest luminaries.
She kept a lively diary of her Italian travels, fell for and married the divorced middle-aged heir to the Dukedom of Argyll, and died tragically young. The descendants of Andrew, the American brother, became slave-owning Virginian aristocracy, Civil War heroes and victims, and fabulously wealthy entrepreneurs, one of whom helped to drive forward the development of California.
The notorious Second World War figure General George Patton was a descendant of the Californian Glassells. See more
