Show Notes

We don’t have royalty or nobility in the USA, but we do have political and ministry dynasties. Let’s meet some amazing families.

Rockefeller

A devout Baptist raised by a godly mother, John was frugal and an astute businessman. Their empire today is vast, and the family tree is filled with governors, senators, and businessmen.

Vanderbilt

The Commodore, a Moravian, hard worker, and courageous entrepreneur, became the richest man in America. Over the generations, that wealth has dwindled but there’s still the Biltmore in Asheville, NC.

Morgan

From Massachusetts Bay Colony to the 1960s, this family reigned in banking and investing.

DuPont

A nobleman in Paris escaped the guillotine and started fresh in Delaware. Meet the DuPont family.

Barrymore

Destined for law, this British man came to America to act. His daughter Ethel became one of the greatest actresses of all time.

Cathy

A devoted Christian perfected the chicken sandwich, and the rest is history.
