American heir Henry Cecil and Vanderbilt lineage
Henry Vanderbilt Cecil, three years old, inherits a life of privilege from his parents John Francis Amherst Cecil and Cornelia Vanderbilt. The Biltmore estate in Buncombe County NC, once 120,000 acres, now about 12,000, reflects the family’s wealth and social prominence from the Vanderbilts’ 1910s movements and health quest.
