  • The Parish Rosseel Collection
    THE PARISH-ROSSEEL COLLECTION Mss. Coll. No. 5 38 linear ft. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE David Parish (1778-1826) arrived in America in late 1805. The owner of a successful banking and commission house in Antwerp, he came to this country as the American based partner in a profitable enterprise of shipping bullion from Spanish America to Europe. He directed this business from Philadelphia where he made a fortune estimated at one million dollars. Upon his arrival in America, David Parish visited Gouverneur Morris who had been a friend of David's father when Morris was United States Minister to France. In the spring of 1807, Morris visited Parish and told him of vast lands in northern New York and suggested that they would be a good investment. In the spring of 1808, with Joseph Rosseel as his land agent, David Parish began purchasing land in the North Country. One of his first purchases was 72,000 acres at one dollar and fifty cents per acre. He later added to this by purchasing large tracts of Jefferson and St. Lawrence Counties. In 1804 there were only four families living in Ogdensburg. In 1809 David Parish bought the unsold portion (only thirty eight lots had been sold) of the village from Samuel Ogden for eight thousand dollars. Parish saw the possibility of turning Ogdensburg into a main forwarding station on the St. Lawrence River and he made efforts to create a large commercial center there. As a result of hard work on the part of Parish and Rosseel, the town grew considerably in the years before the War of 1812.

  • Brown/Kirby Family Papers
    BOX FOLDER 1 BROWN FAMILY COLLECTION Mss. 14 SCOPE AND CONTENTS The Brown Papers consist of around 500 items covering a period from 1800 to 1865. The papers contain both personal and business correspondence of Jacob Jennings Brown and his family and the accounts of Edmond Kirby, the son-in-law of Jacob Brown. The papers give a clear picture of pioneer life in Northern New York as well as a sense of the military life of the time. St. Lawrence University does not own the literary rights to this collection. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Jacob Jennings Brown was born in Pennsylvania in 1775. In 1799 he purchased several thousand acres of land on the shore of Lake Ontario in northern New York and founded the village of Brownville. In 1809 Brown was made a colonel in the militia and in 1810 he was advanced to brigadier-general. At the outbreak of the War of 1812, Brown's troops repelled the British attack on Ogdensburg where his headquarters was located. In the spring of 1813, he assumed command at Sackett's Harbor and on May 29th of that year he defeated a superior force when the British attacked the harbor. In July 1813, Brown was appointed brigidier-general in the regular army and in 1814, he was placed in command of the army of Niagara with the rank of major-general. In that same year Brown took possession of Fort Erie and on July 5 he gained another victory at Chippewa. At the close of the war Brown was retained in command of the northern division of the army and in 1821 he became general-in-chief of the U.S.

The accumulation of such material, during the last four years, has led to the conviction that it should be preserved in some enduring form and so arranged as to be of historical value not only to members of the Brockett family but to the general public.

  • Dutch Reformed Church, Newburgh
    HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY, NY,36-NEWB, LIBRARY 12-12, OF CONGRESS Dutch Reformed Church, Newburgh 12 The Hudson River Valley Review Conspicuous but Endangered Landmarks: Alexander Jackson Davis’s Dutch Reformed Church and Plumb-Bronson House William Krattinger July 2003 marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of architect Alexander Jackson Davis (1803-1892), a figure of considerable interest in the cultural and architectural history of the Hudson River Valley. Many of the works that define Davis’s maturation as a professional and attest to his skill as an “architectural composer”—the title he once used to describe his vocation1—were designed for clients in the Valley. It was here that Davis embraced the opportunity to evolve his ideas regarding Picturesque-inspired domestic architecture,2 which were bol- stered by his visibility as a designer of considerable reputation, a fertile field of potential clientele, and an interest in new trends in domestic architecture among this group of clients. Here Davis cultivated what he termed “connexion [sic] with site,”3 the interrelationship between house and environment that formed the essence of contemporary Picturesque design philosophy and reveled in the diverse natural features that characterize the region. Heritage tourism destinations such as Montgomery Place and Lyndhurst, and privately owned resources such as the Delamater House in Rhinebeck, attest to Davis’s talent as an innovator in American architectural design and his perceptible influence in the evolution of domestic architecture in the Hudson Valley of the nineteenth century. Like his informal associate Andrew Jackson Downing (1815-1852) and his friend Thomas Cole (1801-1848), Davis found great pleasure in the varied moods and emotive potential of the Valley landscape and here received some of his most noteworthy commissions.

  • Connecticut Historical Society J
    c J c J, cr y(L^ COLLECTIONS OF THE Connecticut Historical Society_j Volume XIV HARTFORD PUBLISHED BY THE SOCIETY 1912 T INTRODUCTION. The English settlement of Hartford, Conn.,, was made by settlers from "the New Towne," now Cambridge, Mass. As early as 1633 the region was visited by a few adventurers and traders from the Bay. In 1635 ^ settlement was begun at "Newtowne," the name being changed to Hartford two years later. The great exodus hither was in the spring of 1636, when the settlement was firmly established by the coming of the. Rev. Thomas Hooker and his party. About that time the lands were purchased by the settlers from the Indians. A confirmatory deed given in 1670, the original deed having been lost, states that it was given to" Mr. Samuel Stone and Mr. William Goodwin, in the behalfe of the present pro prietors and owners of the lands belonging to the township of Hartford."
