Morris Canal and Banking Company

Content Note

This volume contains an alphabetical list of approximately 770 preferred and consolidated stockholders. The title page of the list reads, "Voting List, Preferred Stock - 11750 shares, Consolidated Stock - 10250 shares, Annual Meeting - April 4, 1910." However, the list predates 1910, and additional notes on the title page date from 19 December 1911 and 12 March 1913, with the numbers of shares listed for each stockholder apparently reflecting the latter date. Several prominent New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania businessmen, such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his brothers, and members of the Roebling family, are included in the list. For the most part, these businessmen are among the great majority of stockholders shown with no shares at the list's last update. At that time, the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company owned 97% (11399 shares) of the preferred stock and 96% (10250 shares) of the consolidated stock. NOTE: Several estates are listed under "Estate of...," while others are listed under the name of the deceased, the executor, or trustees.
