August 27, 1739, on the ship Samuel from Rotterdam, Hugh
Pierce, master. The date of his death is unknown, and the last
mention of him that has been found is in 1749. New York
Lutheran Church records tell us that "Johann Hahn Y. M. (young
man), from Philadelphia" was married on October 25, 1740 to
Magdalena Klotzen or Klotz, a widow.¹

haps in earlier days an Irish Hone had migrated to
Holland, as the Livingstons did from Scotland.¹

     John Hone and his more famous
brother, Philip Hone, entered the auction and commission busi-
ness. The name of their firm was "Philip & John Hone." The busi-
ness was that of auctioneering, which at that time consisted chiefly
in selling the cargoes brought to the port of New York. The
firm was very prosperous and bore an honored name throughout
the United States.
Walter Barrett in his Old Merchants of New York City, says:
"Few of this generation will remember the name of Hone. Yet
there are readers of this book who will recollect a day when that
name was as highly honored and as extensively known in this
city as it possibly could be. As far back as I can recollect, there
were two brothers in the auction business of the name of Hone.
The firm was 'Philip & John Hone.' Their auction store was up
in Fulton Street around the corner from Pearl. John Hone lived
in one of the seven houses fronting the Bowling Green. Stephen
Whitney lived and died on one end of Bowling Green Row, and
John Hone on the other. Both brothers were magnificent speci-
mens of American men. Philip Hone lived up Broadway, one
door this side of the South corner of Park place. The corner at
that time was covered by a small wooden tenement, and on the
first floor thread and needles were sold. The Hones were the
creme de da creme of society in those days. Philip and John Hone
had made large fortunes. In 1826 they dissolved, and Philip was
elected Mayor of the City of New York. John Hone for the
sake of his sons determined to continue the auction business
under the name of 'John Hone & Sons.' They built a store on
the northeast corner of Wall and Pearl, where the Seamen's Sav-
ings Bank now stands. Never had New York merchants so fine
a collection of sons. They were noble looking fellows. Henry
was the handsomest man, in 1830, in the United States. John,
Jr., was a noble fellow. He died in Rome, and his widow after-
ward married lawyer Frederick DePeyster. Isaac Hone, another
son, was of this firm, and after a variety of mercantile ups and
downs, disasters and successes, became a deputy collector under
Collector Hugh Maxwell. At one time Isaac was of the firm of
Hone and Fleming. His partner, John B. Fleming, drew a prize
in the lottery, of thirty thousand dollars. Two other sons were
members of the rich firm of John Hone & Sons. Henry was
one. He lived up opposite St. John's Park in Varick Street, a
few doors from the church. What dinner parties that man gave!
What choice 'Chateaux Margeaux,' and Lynch's 'Sauterne.' Poor
Dominick Lynch! Henry was elected a member of the Legisla-
ture at one time. He married as his second wife Miss Haywood.
Although opposed by her father, Henry Haywood of Charleston,
S. C, (who owned 2,500 negroes and who resided in the old
mansion with pillars, seen by the Democratic delegates as they
came out of Charleston last April, on the line of the North
Eastern Railroad) and who did not like Hone at all. It was of
no use, this opposition. Harry Hone was a dashing fellow and
he carried the day. Miss Haywood ran away from her father
and married handsome Harry. She was rich, and loved her hus-
band ; but he, alas, poor Harry—down, down, down he went, and
finally died in a low rum shop in Chatham street. All gone—
used up—his death a mercy, for his wife allowed him so much a
year to keep clear of her. Another of the firm of John Hone &
Sons, was the now well-known Myndert Van Schaick; he married
a daughter of John Hone. John Anthon, the lawyer, married
another daughter. Van Schaick was the indoor man, and used to
hand down the pieces of dry goods from the shelves during a sale
at auction. Of all that crowd, Van Schaick is the only one left."
"When his son Isaac and his firm Tredwell & Hone' failed,
old John Hone, his father, had to pay $130,000 for them. He was
obliged to sell his United States stock to save the name of Hone
from dishonor. He felt so deeply, and had so much pride in
keeping the commercial name of his sons untainted, that he cheer-
fully made any sacrifice. Old John Hone was a trump in his
day."
"The two brothers, John and Philip Hone, afterwards so promi-
nent in the city were trained from boyhood in John McVickar's
counting-house, and then established in business. John Hone in
after life often acknowledging that he owed all his success to the
unlimited credit opened for him in London by John McVickar,
with his correspondents, more especially with the great house of
Phyn, Ellice & English.
Their store was a very large brick one at No. 61 Wall Street.
The business began to fall off in about 1830 when the field in
which they had had almost a monopoly became crowded with
competitors.¹
