Fitzwilliam, Rockinghams

Back in the mid-eighteenth century, the earls of Fitzwilliam, the Rockinghams, who were giants of industry, rolled out a new line of earthenware pottery.

--- Does it mean the earls from the Fitzwilliam family and the earls from the Rockinghams family released this pottery?

No, I believe it is saying that Rockingham was the family name of the earls of Fitzwilliam. The story of this family and its various names and titles seems complicated.
