Charles P. Leverich and his brother
Henry S. Leverich were shipping merchants, commission agents, and investment
bankers from New York. Charles acted as factor for Stephen Duncan, MD, a
wealthy cotton and sugar planter of the Natchez, Mississippi, area. Charles
became director of the Bank of New York in 1840, Vice-president in 1853 and
President of the bank from 1863 until his death in 1876. Charles and Henry both
married nieces of Dr. Stephen Duncan. The Leverich-Duncan alliance greatly
influenced the agricultural and financial development of the antebellum
South.

Financial records, ledgers,
accounts and photographs document the extensive mercantile, banking and
factoring business dealings of brothers Charles P. and Henry S. Leverich.
Accounting records contain hundreds of entries relating to railroad and real
estate investments, personal and mercantile loans to planters, cotton and sugar
sales information, and shipping records and manifestos. Financial records of
slaveholders, including Mrs. Mary Porter, William J. Minor, Dr. Stephen Duncan
and William Mercer, contain costs and inventories of plantation supplies and
personal items, investment transactions, expense accounts, loans and advances
on securities and sales. The papers are representative of the 19th century
economic history of the South, especially of Louisiana and Mississippi.
