Pierre Lorillard II

Lorillard II took over and continued to manage and operate the family business after his father's death in 1776.

[4] The village and the surrounding area were developed in 1886 by his grandson Pierre Lorillard IV as a resort for the socially prominent.

A newspaper reporter writing his obituary tried to describe an extremely wealthy American and used the relatively new word, "millionaire".

[19][20][21][22] Cleveland Amory incorrectly reports that it was in Lorillard's 1843 obituary that the first use of the word "millionaire" appeared in print anywhere.

He led people by the nose for the best part of the century, and made his enormous fortune by giving them that to chew which they could not swallow.

[26] Through his daughter Dorothea, he was the grandfather of Mary Lorillard Wolfe (1823–1847), who was married to William Bayard Hoffman (d. 1880)[27] before her early death, David Lorillard Wolfe (1825–1829), who died young, and Catharine Lorillard Wolfe (1828–1887), the philanthropist and art collector who gave large amounts of money to institutions such as Grace Episcopal Church and Union College, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
