About Pierre Lorillard, II
He was an American tobacco manufacturer, industrialist, banker, businessman, and real estate tycoon.
Born Pierre Lorillard II on September 7, 1764 in New York, the son of Pierre Abraham Lorillard and Catherine Moore. His father, also known as 'Pierre Lorillard I', was the founder of the Lorillard Tobacco Company. Lorillard's father made the first American tobacco fortune by developing a tobacco firm that he started in 1760. Originally the business was a snuff-grinding factory located in a rented house in lower Manhattan. It was called Lorillard's Snuff and Tobacco company and sometimes, the name was abbreviated as, J. Lorillard. Later the firm moved to a better location on the Bronx River. Lorillard II took over and continued to manage and operate the family business after his father's death in 1776.
Lorillard died in May 1843 at the age of seventy-nine outliving his brothers George and Jacob. A newspaper reporter then writing his obituary tried to describe an extremely wealthy American and used the relatively new word, "millionaire".

He married Maria Dorothea Schultz in 1788 and they had five children. They lived at 521 Broadway in Manhattan.
