Biographical History
Born in LeRoy, Genesee County, N.Y. Graduated from Harvard University in 1838. Practiced law in Canandaigua and Buffalo, N.Y.; served in the New York State senate, and was elected a representative to the U.S. Congress in 1862.
The convention of delegates to consider ratification of the proposed United States Constitution was held at Poughkeepsie in June and July, 1788, pursuant to resolutions of the Assembly and Senate passed January 31 and February 1, 1788.
Special statutes regarding the great seal and other official seals have required filing of descriptions with the Secretary of State. Chap. 12 of the Laws of 1778 required descriptions of the great and privy seals and the seals of the chancellor and the various judges to be delivered to the Secretary of State for him to "deposit and record in his office." Chap. 249 of the Laws of 1855 empowered boards of supervisors in the various counties of the state to adopt a seal, and required them to file a description of it with the Secretary of State. Chaps. 18 and 301 of the Laws of 1878 required the various state agencies in existence at that time to adopt seals and to file descriptions with the Secretary of State. Chap. 51 of the Laws of 1909 contains provisions for seals of state agencies, but makes no provision for filing of descriptions with the Secretary of State.
In 1993 following the Pentagon's closing of the Griffiss Air Force Base (Rome, New York ), Governor Mario Cuomo announced the formation of a task force to explore the economic development possibilities of the base and named Secretary of State Gail Schaefer as one of his representatives to the Griffiss Redevelopment Planning Council. The Planning Council, in cooperation with the Griffiss Local Development Council, sought to effect the development and implementation of a comprehensive strategy to maintain and expand the uses and viability of the former base through links with federal, state, and local governments, business, and academia.
The Constitution of 1846 was framed and adopted by a Convention of Delegates which met in Albany from June 1 to October 9, 1846. It was ratified by the voters on November 3, 1846. The Convention was called pursuant to Chapter 252 of the Laws of 1845 and Chapter 94 of the Laws 1846.
The Council of Revision was set up by Article III of the Constitution of 1777 and consisted of the Governor, Chancellor, and Justices of the Supreme Court of Judicature. It had the power to review all bills passed by the Legislature, and to veto those of which it did not approve. The Council was abolished by the Constitution adopted in 1822.
Legislation of 1849 and 1892 authorized county boards of supervisors (except for New York County) to divide or alter boundaries of towns within their counties.
The board was to consider the alteration upon application of at least 12 freeholders and upon being furnished with a map and survey showing proposed alterations for all towns involved. If the board granted the application, the map and survey and a certified statement of the board's actions regarding the alterations were to be filed with the Secretary of State, who was to print them with the next printing of the laws.
Legislation of 1892 further authorized county boards of supervisors to establish and define boundary lines between towns. The board was to file a resolution containing a description of the boundaries, along with a map and survey, with the Secretary of State, who was to print them with the next printing of the laws.
The Revised Statutes of 1889 authorized the State Engineer and Surveyor to hear arguments of town officers disputing town boundaries and to direct a survey if necessary to determine the true boundaries. The State Engineer and Surveyor was to file the determination with the Secretary of State. This determination was to be final unless changed by an act of the legislature.
