William Avery Rockefeller Jr. (May 31, 1841 – June 24, 1922) was a prominent American businessman and financier. He co-founded Standard Oil with his elder brother, John Davison Rockefeller. Additionally, he held a partial ownership stake in Anaconda Copper, which ranked as the fourth-largest company globally by the late 1920s. Rockefeller began his professional journey as a clerk at the age of 16. In 1867, he became a member of his brother's firm, Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler, which subsequently evolved into Standard Oil. The company was ultimately dissolved by the Supreme Court in 1911. Rockefeller also played a crucial role in the copper sector. In 1899, he, along with Henry H. Rogers of Standard Oil, collaborated with Marcus Daly, the founder of Anaconda Company, to establish the Amalgamated Copper Mining Company, which later reverted to the name Anaconda Copper.
Henry Morrison Flagler (January 2, 1830 – May 20, 1913) was a prominent American industrialist and a co-founder of Standard Oil, which originated in Ohio. He played a significant role in the development of Florida's Atlantic coast and established the Florida East Coast Railway, much of which was constructed through the practice of convict leasing. Flagler is often referred to as the father of Miami and Palm Beach, Florida. Born in Hopewell, New York, he was the son of Isaac Flagler, a Presbyterian minister, and Elizabeth Caldwell (Morrison) Harkness, a widow. Elizabeth brought two sons from her previous marriage to Dr. David Harkness of Milan, Ohio. Stephen V. Harkness, her son from the first marriage, became a stepson to Flagler. Together, David and Elizabeth had a son, Daniel M. Harkness, before David's passing. Flagler's ancestry includes paternal German roots from the Palatinate region. His immigrant ancestor, Zacharra Flegler, first settled in Walworth, England, before arriving in New York in 1710 and eventually establishing residence in Dutchess County. It was Solomon Flagler, a grandson, who first adopted the altered spelling of the surname. Solomon had eleven children, one of whom was Isaac, Henry's father.
