Stephen Whitney
Stephen Whitney (1776–1860) was one of the wealthiest merchants in New York City in the first half of the 19th century. His fortune was considered second only to that of John Jacob Astor. As a prominent citizen of the rapidly growing city, he helped to build some of its institutions, including the Merchants' Exchange Building, the first permanent home of the New York stock exchange.
== Early life ==
Stephen Whitney was born in humble circumstances in Derby, Connecticut, on September 4, 1776. He was a descendant of Henry Whitney (1615-1673),〔(【引用サイトリンク】work= Whitney family web site ) (sources on page include historical publications)〕 who immigrated to southern Connecticut in the mid-seventeenth century. Whitney moved to New York City in his early twenties, taking a job in his brother Henry's business firm Lawrence & Whitney. By 1800 Whitney had accumulated enough capital to go into business as a grocer and an importer of wine and spirits on his own, at first in partnership with a Scotsman named John Currie. He married Harriet Suydam, the sister of his brother's wife, in 1803,when he was 26 years old.
