"The mysterious Colonel Elston," as he is generally termed, because little is known of him. went to Russia in the 17th Century and gained the friendship and confidence of Peter the Great. Later General Felix Nicholaievitch Elston great-grandson of Colonel Elston, married the heiress of the last Count of Sumarokov and received permission from Tsar Nicholas I (1825-1855) to use the name of Sumarokov-Elston. It was their son who married Princess Yusupov, the sole heiress of the fabulously rich and eccentric Prince Nicholas Yusupov (grandfather...
