- NOTES (pt. 1): The Tibbits Family figured prominently in the social, ecconomic, and political affairs of Troy and Rensselaer County, New York, for four successive generations from the 1780's to 1940's. George Tibbits (1763-1849) the first to become prominent, began his lifetime endeavors in 1784 as a proprietor of a general store in Lansingburgh, New York. In 1796, the business was moved to Troy where greater profits were realized. In addition, he began to speculate in land at that time, acquiring and conveying lots in such diverse places as Hoosick Patent, McCormick's Patent, and Scriba's Patent. Soon after the turn of the century, he retired from mercantile affairs to become actively involved in politics and government. The first major office he held was as member of the New York State Assembly in 1800. Two years later he was elected to the United States house of Representatives. He served only one term in which he was most noted for his advocacy of tarifs and other protectionist measures in behalf of American agriculture and industry. He was a member of the New York State Senate, 1815-1816, where he contributed to the enactment of legislation that authorized construction of the Erie Canal. In 1824, he was appointed along with Stephen Allen and Samuel Hopkins to a special state commission that resulted in a favorable report on conditions at Auburn Prison, and oversaw the construction of the Sing Sing Prison.
- NOTES (pt. 2): Finally, he concluded his political career as Mayor of Troy from 1830 to 1836. There he gained a reputation as fighter in behalf of the city's economic interest. For example, he vehemently opposed, without success, the movement of the eastern terminus of the Erie Canal from Troy to Albany, but was successful in preventing the construction of a bridge over the Hudson River at Albany claiming it would prevent navigation to Troy. Another major accomplishment as mayor was the provision of a public water supply made available through the construction of a dam to create a reservoir in the Piscawan Creek basin.
- NOTES (pt. 3): George Tibbits married Sarah Noyes (1767-1846) in 1789, who bore him five children. The eldest was George Mortimer Tibbits (1796-1878), who also prospered in business and real estate. He was also interested in stock raising, having imported prize breeds of dairy cattle and sheep to graze on land around the family's summer residence in the town of Hoosick, New York. Unlike his father, George M. Tibbits was not actively involved in politics but he did nonetheless provide substantial support to his son William's efforts to organize a militia regiment to fight on behalf of the Union cause during the Civil War. He also traveled abroad in 1866 along with other family members to attend the Internation Exposition at Paris where he represented the Walter A. Wood Company. After the fair concluded, they remained for several months touring most of Europe and the Holy Land before returning to the United States in 1867. He was married to Sarah Bleeker (1803-1883), a member of a prominant Albany family. She was the niece of Blandina Bleeker Dudley, the wife of U.S. Senator Charles Edward Dudley.
- NOTES (pt. 4): In the third generation there was George Tibbits (1825-1875), a graduate of the Poughkeepsie Collegiate School, and part owner of the Sampson and Tibbits Platform Scale Company; C.E. Dudley Tibbits (1834-1924) one time president of the Walter A. Wood Mowing and Reaping Company; and William B. Tibbits (1837-1880) a breveted major general of the Civil War. The last of the line included Sarah B. Tibbits (1866-1947), who reigned as a kind of grand dame of Troy Society for many years; and John Knox Tibbits (1870-?) a graduate of St. Pauls School (Concord, NH) and Yale College, was an Episcopalian clergyman. They were the offspring of C.E. Dudley Tibbits and Mary Elizabeth Knox (1842-1875), who were married in 1865.
- NOTES (pt. 5): Mary Elizabeth Knox was the daughter of John LeGrand (1803-1879( and Elizabeth Sigourney Knox (1813-1885), who were also residents of Troy, New York. John LeGrand Knox, originally from Norwalk, Connecticut, removed to Troy in 1820 where he became engaged in the dry goods business, and at different times he was associated with Frances Morgan, John H. Whitlock, and Gould Reynolds. In addition, John LeGrand Knox was also an agent for underwriters of fire and real property insurance. Other offspring of John LeGrand and Elizabeth Sigourney Knox included: Charles Sigourney Knox (1843-1920), a graduate of Columbia College and profesor of latin at St. Pauls School, Concord, N.H.; and James Carter Knox, who had also served on the faculty at St. Pauls School as professor of English and music. Their mother, Elizabeth Sigourney Knox was the daughter of Charles (1778-1854) and Jane Carter Sigourney (1787-1818), residents of Hartford, Connecticut. Charles Sigourney was a hardware merchant and one of the founders of Trinity College in Hartford. Shortly after the death of his first wife, he married Lydia Huntley (1791-1861) a popular prose and poetry writer of the first half of the nineteenth century.
- ABSTRACT: The papers of George Tibbits consist of correspondence, bills, receipts, ledgers, journals, land titles, plat books, memoranda, petitions, articles and speeches relating to various phases of his career in business and politics. From 1784-1804, these papers concern his dealings with wholesalers and shippers as well as the retail operations of the store. Hardware and dry goods were probably the chief line of merchandise he sold as indicated in an assortment of journals and ledgers that remain. There is also some evidence that he operated a grain storage warehouse from which it was sold or barteed wholesale. Another major endeavor of George Tibbits documented in these papers was the acquisition, subdivision, and release of land in Troy, Schaghticke, Hoosick, McCormick's Patent, and Scribas Patent.
- ABSTRACT: As for George Tibbits career in politics and government, there is correspondence, memoranda, and drafts of articles, reports, and speeches clearly reveal his sentiments on a wide range of local and national issued. For example, there are a series of essays he presented at the National Convention on Trade and Commerce, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 1827, that were later published in the "Philadelphia Inquirer" in which he advocates the imposition of tarifs and duties on foreign goods. Another example of his work is an essay entitled "Remarks Upon Canals" where he sets forth his case for financing the construction of the Erie Canal through domestic sources as opposed to foreign. Also included here are drafts of numerous petitions he authored as mayor of Troy during the 1830's concerning such matters as the bridge at Albany and the controversial move by the State of New York to change the terminus of the Erie Canal. Lastly, this series includes material generated by his work with the special commission on prisons, such as detailed statistical charts and related reports on the physical facilties and financial operations at Auburn.
- ABSTRACT: Subsequent generations added greatly to these papers, especially the significant contributions made by George M. Tibbits, William B. Tibbits, C.E. Dudley Tibbits, and Sarah B. Tibbits. Correspondence comprises the bulk of these series much of which concerns personal and family matters. Some of the more interesting topics found here include William Tibbits reactions and experiences as Union army officer during the Civil War, the academic and business career of George Tibbits III, and C.E. Dudley Tibbits travels in Europe and Middle East. Another large component of these papers are detailed invoices for a variety of goods and sevices purchased by individual family members for personal or household consumption. Additional financial material include the journals of George M. and C.E. Dudley Tibbits which contain detailed entries of their income and expenditures. Other personal papers include social invitations, calling cards, school papers, and newsclippings.
- ABSTRACT: Business activities are also documented in these papers. The George M. Tibbits subseries includes land titles, rent ledgers, building contracts, and specifications pertaining to the development of family real estate holdings in Troy nad Utica, New York. In the C.E. Dudley Tibbits subseries there are offical correspondence, memoranda, reports, and blue prints concerning proposals to expand the manufacturing operations of the Walter A. Wood Company. Lastly, the C.E. Dudley series contains wills, inventories, testimentary letters, associated with the bequeathment and settlement of estates of individuals from the Tibbits and allied famileis. These papers provide information on the succession of real estate holdings and personal property.
- ABSTRACT: The Knox Family series, similar an scope and content of these found in related Tibbits Family series, in comprised mostly of personal correspondence and invoices, other material included here, are the bookkeeping records and financial papers related to John LeGrand Knox's mercantile endeavors in drygoods and inusrance; academic notebooks and essays of Charles S. Knox and his brothers while attending St. Paul's School in Concord, N.H. and Columbia College. This series also includes personal correspondence and othte papers of Charles Sigourney and his wife Lydia Huntley Sigourney.
- ABSTRACT: The Bridgen Family series consists mostly of material relating to the probate and settlement of the estate of Thomas Bridgen Sr. The legal complications concerning the bequeathment of real property in Coeymans and Halfmoon Patents as well as changing his surname from Atwood to Bridgen require extensive research. Other than estate matters, there is the personal correspondence of Anna Maria and Katherine (Kitty) Bridgen.
