  • The Brothers Low
    THE BROTHERS LOW Submitted by Sam McKenzie, April 2020 Sam McKenzie is a retired petrochemical engineer. He graduated from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, with a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1966. After 33 years in the petrochemical industry he retired to Saratoga County NY and volunteered to perform historical research for the Brookside Museum starting in 2015. Sam can be reached at [email protected] Isaac Low Nicholas Low Isaac (1731-91) and Nicholas Low (1739-1826) were born in New Jersey, but spent their lives as successful businessmen and Manhattanites. Nevertheless, they had a significant influence upon the development of Saratoga County in the late 18th Century and particularly the founding of Ballston Spa. They were of Dutch stock. Consequently, they pronounced their surname to rhyme with Cow and not Snow. If unconvinced, please telephone the Historical Society of Lowville, NY (also founded by the Lows) and see how they answer. The brothers differed in their approach to politics. The powerful merchants of New York City apparently chose Isaac as a “safe pair of hands” into which they could entrust the chairmanship of five successive “Committees of Correspondence” between 1765 and 1775. These represented the city and coordinated with the other colonies in opposition to taxes imposed by the British Parliament. The British Crown saw them as highly illegal, as was the First Continental Congress which Isaac attended. Brother Nicholas seems to have been uninvolved in these matters. Unfortunately for Isaac, his political stance was founded on two incompatible principles, “no taxation without representation”, but also “my ambition is to live and die as a British subject”.

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.

DEPEW WITH FIFTY-FOUR OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES OF NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND NEW ENGLAND AN APPENDIX ON THE HEGEMAN ANCESTRY WITH TWENTY-FIVE OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES COMPILED BY WILLIAM A. EARDELEY, M.A. NEW YORK 1918 C.0PYJUGHT. 1918 BY CHAUNCEY M.• DEPEW i-'O"l.CHAUNC!::Y M.D!::PE:W .:.- - .... :: AGE: o::- 63 PREFACE THE desire of an individual to trace his or her ancestry and to per­ petuate, in print, the salient facts in the lives of these same ancestors, is commendable to the last degree. Hence this book of Records with the main authorities for the facts herein contained. The 1907 Ogden Family Genealogy says "There is something peculiarly gratifying to the average American citizen to be able to trace his lineage to the primal days of colonial life, and especially to a worthy, virtuous and honored ancestor . the undying satisfaction in the knowledge that one is heir to strong and enduring ancestral character: in the fact of being able to point back to him who first came to the New World. There is much fascination in the tracing back of ancestral lines, in spite of the many discouragements and the tediousness of the work." The realization that one's ancestors were patriotic citizens. who fought for the independence of this Great American Republic, should be a strong incentive for the descendants to emulate such sterling deeds. The mingling of the blood of the fine French Huguenot Families of Depew and See; of the Dutch Families of Cranckheyt and Siboutsen and Van Lent and Wiltsie and Van Boerum and Storm and Van Wert; of the English Families of Mitchell and Minot and Sherman and Prescott and Ogden and Root and Curtiss and Wellington and Winship and Wilder and Willard; with the touch of the Irish in the Johnston Family-has given us one of our grandest men in the person of the Honorable Chauncey Mitchell Depew.

  • Few Americans in the 1790S Would Have Predicted That the Subject Of
    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

  • 54 Macdougal Street in Proposed South Village Historic District
    February 25, 2013 Speaker Christine Quinn New York City Council 224 West 30th Street, #1206 New York, NY 10001 Chair Robert Tierney NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission 1 Centre Street, 9th floor New York, NY 10007 Re: Impending Demolition of 54 MacDougal Street in Proposed South Village Historic District Dear Speaker Quinn and Chair Tierney: I write to bring to your attention the impending demolition of yet another historic structure in the proposed South Village Historic District, a nearly two-hundred year old house and rear structure at 54 MacDougal Street. I urge you to take immediate action to prevent further destruction to this historic and imminently endangered neighborhood. Demolition permits have just been filed for this structure at King Street. According to GVSHP’s research, the house was built to two-and-a-half stories with the sloped roof and dormers characteristic of a federal house some time before 1827, and extended to a full three stories in 1874. Demolition permits have also been filed for a one-story rear structure behind it, likely a backhouse. While modestly altered over the years, this structure clearly maintains the basic elements of an early 19th century lower Manhattan house. Though it began as a residence, over the years the structure has housed model railroad supply companies, art galleries, and antique stores. Its historic look and feel even made it a perfect setting for “Rosenberg’s Jewelry Store” in the 1997 film “Men In Black.” Located at the head of King Street, 54 MacDougal is visually prominently and serves as one of many recognizable “gateways” to the South Village.

  • Download Eric Foner's Preliminary Report
    -1- COLUMBIA AND SLAVERY: A PRELIMINARY REPORT Eric Foner Drawing on papers written by students in a seminar I directed in the spring of 2015 and another directed by Thai Jones in the spring of 2016, all of which will soon be posted in a new website, as well as my own research and relevant secondary sources, this report summarizes Columbia’s connections with slavery and with antislavery movements from the founding of King’s College to the end of the Civil War. Significant gaps remain in our knowledge, and investigations into the subject, as well as into the racial history of the university after 1865, will continue. -2- 1. King’s College and Slavery The fifth college founded in Britain’s North American colonies, King’s College, Columbia’s direct predecessor, opened its doors in July 1754 on a beautiful site in downtown New York City with a view of New York harbor, New Jersey, and Long Island. Not far away, at Wall and Pearl Streets, stood the municipal slave market. But more than geographic proximity linked King’s with slavery. One small indication of the connection appeared in the May 12, 1755 issue of the New-York Post-Boy or Weekly Gazette. The newspaper published an account of the swearing-in ceremony for the college governors, who took oaths of allegiance to the crown administered by Daniel Horsmanden, a justice of the colony’s Supreme Court. The same page carried an advertisement for the sale of “two likely Negro Boys and a Girl,” at a shop opposite Beekman’s Slip, a wharf at present-day Fulton Street.
