    John and Andrew Bremner, New York…some notes Extract from the Register of the Empire State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. New York, The Society, 1899, 620 pgs. Roll of Members. Andrew Augustus Bremner New York City Manufacturer. Born in New York City, Dec. 31, 1812. Was colonel fifty years ago of the old 7th Regt., subsequently the 27th Regt., N.Y. State Artillery; Colonel of the 15th Regt. of Volunteers as Home Guard on Long Island from 1862 to 1865. Was Trustee of 18th Ward School, with Peter Cooper and others, about 1850, and otherwise conspicuous in affairs with his contemporaries. Member of the 7th Regt. Veteran Association, General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, and an early member of the Union League Club of Brooklyn. Son of Major Andrew Bremner (of 11th Regt. of N.Y. Heavy Artillery in 1812), and Catherine Sell; grandson of John Bremner and Barbara Nesbitt; great-grandson of Andrew Bremner. JOHN BREMNER, (sometimes spelled Brymner and Brimner); born in Aberdeen, Scotland, April 2, 1737; died in Jamaica, N.Y.

Van Rensselaers Regt. of Albany County Militia, - Andrew Augustus Bremner. It’s quite likely that John, son of Andrew Bremner from Aberdeen, was related to the Aberdeen merchant group who were prominent in the earliest burgess and sasine records of Aberdeen. They were landowners in Old Aberdeen until the 15th century, and after recovering from their property losses there, went on to become prosperous in Aberdeen in the shipping business in the 18th century.

    Strategic Report JPMorgan Chase Acquisition of The Bear Stearns Companies Harkness Consulting Innovation through Collaboration Sayre Craig Jason Cincotta Jennifer Wilcox April 14, 2008 Table of Contents Project Overview ………………………………….…………………..3 Acquisition Overview ……………………………….………………..3 Corporate Histories ……………………………………………………5 Financial Analysis ….…………………………………………………12 Bear Stearns’s Business Segments……………………….…….17 JPMorgan Chase-Bear Stearns Integration…………………..21 Strategic Recommendations……...……………………………….23 Harkness Consulting 2 Project Overview JPMorgan Chase asked Harkness Consulting to devise an appropriate strategy concerning the acquisition and integration of the various divisions of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. The following report will give a background on the acquisition, a history of both the acquirer and the acquiree, analyze the financial condition of the acquiree, examine the various divisions of the acquiree, determine an appropriate integration strategy, and make strategic recommendations to Mr. Jaime Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, based on the aforementioned analysis. Acquisition Overview On Sunday March 16, 2008, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) announced that it would purchase The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (BSC) for $2 a share and assume all of its liabilities and obligations outstanding as of that time. At the same time, JPMorgan announced that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) planned to establish a $30 billion non‐recourse lending facility to JPMorgan for the purpose of the acquisition in which the FRBNY would assume $30 billion of illiquid securities as collateral for the loan. On Monday March 24, JPMorgan, in the wake of widespread protest by Bear Stearns shareholders and employees over the $2 per share purchase price, increased its offering price to $10 per share. At the same time, FRBNY revised the terms of the special lending facility so that JPM would assume the first billion dollars of losses on the $30 billion of illiquid securities with the FRBNY assuming the next $29 billion of losses.

  • Living a Faith Rooted in God's Love
    Rooted in Love Living a Faith Rooted in God’s Love First Congregational Church of Hudson: Living A Faith Rooted in God’s Love Do and dare for Christ. David Hudson made this pledge in 1798 while living in Goshen, Connecticut. A year later, that commitment would drive him to go West to the Connecticut Western Reserve, so he could form a true Christian community and church—a place firmly rooted in love—which came to fruition in the founding of the Hudson Church in 1802 and what would become Hudson, Ohio. Do and dare for Christ. To be rooted in love, a love driven by faith and lived out in relationship. This is the foundation, history, and legacy of our Church community. For nearly 220 years, the people of First Congregational Church of Hudson have time and time again acted out of faith-filled care and concern toward neighbors near and far, further rooting ourselves in the love of Christ and shining God’s Light far into the world. Each generation has taken up the mantle of living faithfully in Christ’s name, continuing that tradition of love. In these pages, you’ll see the arc of our congregational history that bends toward love, service, and justice—all through loving relationships. We hope this overview will inspire and encourage you as we continue to live as God’s people today rooted in that eternal, steadfast, holy love that sends us forth to do and dare for Christ each and every day, for neighbor and stranger alike. 1800-1950 1800-1865: CHUrCH iS FoUNded ANd SooN CoMMiTS To THe ABoliTioN oF SlAVerY 1802: Hudson Church formally founded (the first church in Summit County and the second in the Connecticut Western Reserve).

  • Early Settlement of Cleveland
    Early Settlement of Cleveland In 1796 General Moses Cleaveland, following instructions from the Connecticut Land Company, selected the site of the "capital" city for the Western Reserve-midway between the eastern (Pennsylvania line) and the western (Sandusky Bay) boundaries of the Reserve, where the Cuyahoga River flows into Lake Erie. Cleaveland hoped the "city" might some day rival in population his native town of Wyndham, Connecticut (population then: 2,700). Within four decades, Cleveland fulfilled Cleaveland's prophecy. The first four families (the Gunds, Carters, Hawleys and Kingsburys) settled on the surveyed site in 1797. Fourteen years later, in 1811, the place contained only 18 families, an average increase of one new family each year. Conditions and circumstances conspired to produce such limited development. Fever and ague destroyed some settlers' health and led others to seek towns of higher elevations. Unlike some Reserve settle- ments-David Hudson's town of Hudson, for example-no proprietor (member of the Connecticut Land Company) chose to settle at, or become interested in developing, early Cleveland. Families that might otherwise have become residents feared the Indian frontier (literally, for a time, across the Cuyahoga River), selecting instead towns closer to Pennsylvania. For all these reasons, the place grew very slowly. In 1820, thirteen other Western Reserve towns outranked Cleveland's population of 606. In time, of course, all this changed. Walk-in-the-Water, the first steamboat on Lake Erie, stopped at Cleveland on its 1818 maiden voyage, signalling the future significance of the port of Cleveland. That future was startlingly demonstrated after 1825 with the opening of the Erie Canal and, even more so, in 1827 when the Cleveland-Akron segment of the Ohio and Erie Canal was finished.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Fordham Law Review by an authorized editor of FLASH: The Fordham Law Archive of Scholarship and History. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Freedom of the Press: Croswell's Case Cover Page Footnote The instant study was initiated by Professor Vincent C. Hopkins, S.J., of the Department of History, Fordham University, during 1963. In the spring of 1964 be died, leaving an incomplete draft; completion necessitated research, correction, and re-writing almost entirely, to the point where it became an entirly new paper, and the manuscript was ready for printing when the first olumev of Professor Goebel's, The Law Practice of Alexander Hamilton (1964), appeared. At pages 775-SO6 Goebel gives the background of the Croswell case and, because of many details and references there appearing, the present article has been slimmed down considerably. However, the point of view adopted by Goebel is to give the background so that Hamilton's participation and argument can be understood. The purpose of the present article is to disclose the place occupied by this case (and its participants) in the stream of American libertarian principles, and ezpzdally those legal concepts which prevented freedom of the press from becoming an everyday actuality until the legislatures changed the common law.

  • History of the Glen Family of South Carolina and Georgia
    A History of The Glen Family of South Carolina and Georgia BY J.G.B.BULLOCH,M.U November 1923. PREFACE In writing this history of the Glen family, the author is much indebted to the researches of Thomas Allen Glenn, Esq., through whose efforts so much has been gleaned of the family who were descended from the ancient feudal Barons of Ren­ frew, Scotland. Many thanks are also due to my friend Doctor Arthur Adams of Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, who has rendered such invaluable aid to me. Some of the family went from Scotland to Ireland, thence to Pennsylvania and some settled in Delaware, while another branch went from Linlithgow and settled in South Carolina. William Glen may have gone from Linlithgow via Pennsyl­ vania, but, at any rate we find him in South Carolina as early as 1738. His younger son, John Glen, went to Georgia before 1776, and rose to be an important man in that colony. Some years ago my cousin, Mrs. Edwin R. Warrington, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sent me a history of the Glens of Scotland, part of which is herein included, and it was published in my history of "the Bulloch Family and Connections." Since that time the author has had access to a valuable contribution by Thomas Allen Glenn, of the Glens, published in the Penn­ sylvania Magazine of History and Biography, which I have freely consulted and from which I have taken much of that relating to the earlier history of the Glens, of Scotland. The services rendered by the Glens both in Scotland and in America to the country, show that they have occupied posi­ tions of importance.
