Biographical History

Henry Remsen, Jr., was one of the largest importers of dry goods and prints in New York City, with his store located in Hanover Square. He was the son of Hendrick (1708-1771) and Catalina Remsen and was born on or about April 5, 1736. In 1761, he married Cornelia Dickenson. They had at least two sons, Joris and Henry (also known as Henry, Jr., lived 1762-1843). Remsen was elected a member of the New York Chamber of Commerce on August 2, 1768. He died on March 13, 1792. One of Remsen's grandsons was Henry Rutgers Remsen (1809-1874), a noted New York City attorney. Nothing is known about Benjamin and John Bower of Manchester, England.
