Barry,
Let me also note that, like today, tobacco was a big business back then. The founder, Eben Goodwin, amassed a fortune. He died in 1871 and left the business to his nephew, obviously much younger. It is not unlikely that the nephew, and those who worked as managers beneath him and enjoyed large salaries, were from the aristocratic, well-educated class.
