I found this advertisement of William Jauncey’s business, located in Pearl Street in the Wall St area of Manhattan. It was in the Appleton’s Navigation Guide. I found it interesting to see that he was importing indigo (I assume to use as a dye) from these places. The Jauncey’s made their fortune through merchant shipping, and eventually importing. This is the first time I’ve seen evidence of their products.
Pearl St, was for a time home to the business people of the moment – Govenor Clinton etc. But eventually it was redeveloped. The Jauncey buildings no longer stand.
