Colonial Robert C. Wetmore was born in Pequannock, near Bridgeport, Connecticut, on December 12, 1799. He was educated at private schools in Bridgeport. In 1813 he entered the crockery store of his brother-in-law, George Treadwell, in New York City. In 1826, he organized the R.C. Wetmore & Co., with his brother Prosper W. Wetmore. He retired from the crockery business in 1849, with an ample future. He was actively involved in the Whig Party, serving as chairman of the Young Men's Whig Committee of New York. This position provided him with an appointment as Collector for the United States Navy at the Port of New York under President William Henry Harrison. He was removed from the position when the Whig Party lost in 1844. Later he served as Colonel in the New York Militia, under General Sanford, as division inspector. He was married to Adeline Geer, daughter of Seth Geer, a well-known architect. They had three children. In later years, he resided in Orange, N.J., as indicated in the city directories for 1886, 1887, and 1889. There is no record of the date of his death.
