Henry Hamilton Schieffelin

His son, Henry Hamilton Schieffelin, was a man who had a knowledge of almost every science and art, and was also a linguist of distinguished ability. He seems to have been one who, if he had concentrated his abilities and mental power upon one object, would have made his name famous. He graduated from Columbia College in 1802, made an extended tour in Europe, and was present at the coronation of the Emperor Napoleon. He studied law, but soon abandoned the profession for mercantile pursuits. The place of business of firm, established by his father and continued by him, was on John Street, opposite Cliff Street, and the building yet remain. He died about 1865. His youngest son, Eugene, died in August 1906.
