About William Scully
William Scully (1821–1906) was an Irish-American landlord who inherited lands in Ireland then moved to the United States in 1850. He bought large amounts of land in the Corn Belt, and leased it to tenants in. He became a target of farmer grievances. He was the largest American landowner in his day, and his descendants still control major properties.
