His papers and those of his direct descendants. include corresponde~cel deeds, and account books, dealing mainly with real estate in the city of New York and the sugar refining mill established by Isaac (I).

Isaac (I) ("the Patr·iot"), a financial supporter of the Revolu·tion, was a member of the Constitutional Convention held in Poughkeepsie in 1788 for the purpose of ratifying the Federal Cons·titution. He served as the first President of the Bank of New York.
