Historical/biog note:
Edmond Charles Genet (1763-1834), known as "Citizen Genet," was the first Minister of the French Republic to the United States. He later became a United States citizen and settled near Albany, New York.
Review:
The Genet Family Papers is organized into two series: letters and papers of Edmond Charles Genet, 1794-1829, and the Genet family papers, 1832-1847. The first series consists chiefly of letters written by Edmond Charles Genet from 1805 to 1834, which relate mostly his business interests in farming, the lumber industry, and the building of bridges and canals. Other papers of Edmond C. Genet include drafts of letters to the editor of the Albany Register concerning the War of 1812; drafts of essays regarding his endorsement of DeWitt Clinton for president in 1812; and petitions for the incorporation of the Hudson Ship Canal Company in 1826.
Review:
The second series consists chiefly of correspondence, legal papers, and financial records related to Genet family real estate holdings in the Greenwich Village area of New York City. Many these papers relate specifically to a chancery dispute between the heirs of Edmund Charles Genet and Anthony Carroll.
