From "Old Merchants of New York City," by Walter Barrett, Second Series, 1863, chapter 28, as quoted by S.R. Durand:
"James was the oldest [of the nine children of John and Ann (Moore) McVickar]. He was a merchant and a partner in the house of J. McVickar, Stewart & Co. He married Euretta, a daughter of William Constable, and his son John A. McVickar, M.D. is still a resident of this city [1863], and has a large practice."

He is the son of James (Esq.) and Mary MOORE McVICKAR.
S.R. Durand: "In writing about the lives of John McVickar and Anne (Moore) McVickar I will quote... from the book 'The Old Merchants of New York City' [by Walter Barrett, 1863], and also from a book about their son entitled 'The Enterprising Life, John McVickar 1781-1868' by John Brett Longstaff, published in 1961. There are several other short accounts of John McVickar's life, such as in 'Prominent Families of New York,' and in 'In Old New York,' where it is stated that he did the largest mercantile business in New York in about 1800. ...It is likely that our family line of McVickars moved from western Scotland to Northern Ireland after William of Orange defeated James II of Scotland at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, but possibly they had settled there before this. However, large numbers of English and Scottish settlers were encouraged to establish themselves in the six northern counties of Ireland after 1690. These Ulster counties became largely Protestant after that time. It is almost impossible to trace ancestry in Ireland because most all church baptismal and marriage records were deposited in the Records Office in the Four Courts Buildings in Dublin prior to 1920. During the Civil War in Ireland, these buildings were burned down in 1922, and all old records destroyed. The only records that can be used now for tracing ancestry are land deeds that were kept in local record offices.My grandmother, Maria Elizabeth McVickar, received about $9600 as her share of money paid to clear title before the Woolworth Building was built on Broadway in New York. John McVickar's mansion had been on this property, and the title to the property had to be cleared a hundred years later because an alley to his coach house had never been conveyed in the title deeds. My grandmothers share was 46/525ths. Somewhat later, in 1916, she received another payment from settlement of a suit to clear title to property between 87th and 88th streets and Broadway and Amsterdam avenues in New York City. [He explains that that section had been sold and subsequently inherited by a French family, who had built rows of houses on the land, for which they collected rent. A suit had been brought against them by the 114 heirs of John McVickar in 1914, and they were compelled to make proportional payments to each to clear title, since the old public road through the estate had not been conveyed on the original deed from 1852. Maria E. (Durand) McVickar again received 46/525ths, which amouted to $2172.94. She later received smaller payments for similar title-clearing actions for an areas between 88th and 89th streets and on the former Silver Lake property on Staten Island. [The genealogy of the McVickar family prepared for these lawsuits gives all info that is included in this report on the generations prior to John McVickar, and of his siblings, unless otherwise noted.] One record in the family states that John McVickar, son of James, was born May 26, 1759 in Larne, County Antrim, Ireland. This is a seaport town on the coast, about thirty miles northeast of Belfast. The same record also states that his mother's name was Mary Moore. There is some question as to the exact year that John McVickar came to New York. One record states that he came at the age of 17, which would have been in 1776. This is likely, for his uncle, Archibald McVickar, died in 1779, and he very probably took over his uncle's exporting business. However, another record states that he did not come to New York until 1780. He married Anne Moore on May 20, 1781. John imbibed her loyalty to the established church of England, and interested himself in the beginnings of Episcopal parishes in New York. In addition to being a vestryman for many years of Trinity Church, he was one of the founders and a pew holder of St. Michael's church in Bloomingdale, where he had his country estate. That country home stood just to the south of the Brockholst Livingston property at 89th Street and the North River (Ref: Annals of St. Michael's by John P. Peters, D.D., 1907). John McVickar also contributed substantially to the founding of other Episcopal parishes in New York City and on Staten Island, where he had large landholdings. He had very large investments in land at the time of his death, one holding being over 3000 acres in northern New York State. He died a few days short of his 53rd birthday.
From 'Old Merchants of New York City,' Second Series, Chapter XXVIII, pages 281-290, as quoted by S.R. Durand:
'Among the olden time merchants is one to whom I have often alluded, and who is the founder of a family whose name is interwoven with the prosperity of the city - John McVickar. He was a merchant of the last as well as present century. The manner in which he came to this country is as curious as his subsequent mercantile career. He was Irish born. John and Nathan were sons of an Irish gentleman of moderate estate, and he lost his first wife - their mother. He afterwards married a second time, to give a mother to his boys. She was not different from the general run of stepmothers, and the home ceased to be a home to them. Under these painful circumstances, John, the eldest brother, determined to abandon it and try his fortune in the Western Hemisphere. He told his younger brother that if he succeeded in New York, wither he was bound, he would send for him. He came to New York at the age of seventeen years. He had an uncle already established in this city, and he was under special guardianship of Daniel McCormick, of whom I have written so much. The familiar address to him of 'John,' in after life by the old merchant, often awakened the surprise of strangers. John was fortunate. He did succeed, and he sent for Nathan, who came out, and they established themselves in the city. I have already alluded to him as being among the founders of the St. Patrick's Society, when such men as William Edgar, Hugh Gaines, and Daniel McCormick belonged to it in 1792. At that time Mr. McVickar was established and doing a leading business under his own name at 27 Queen Street (now Pearl Street). He commenced in this city in Maiden Lane, No. 39, before 1786[?]. In 1793, he was elected a director in the Bank of New York, and continued to be re-elected annually until 1810. In 1795 he was made a director in the United Insurance Company, of which his friend Nic. Low was president, and so was until 1809. At that time he lived at 228 Pearl Street, his old place, and kept his place of business at 2 Burling Slip. In 1798, Nathan got here, and the firm was John & Nathan McVickar. In 1801, the style was changed to John McVickar & Co. John moved from 228 Pearl Street to 231 Broadway, and Nathan went to housekeeping in the house John left. In all this time John had continued a director in the Bank of New York. In that year (1801), he was elected a vestryman of Trinity Church and held [that office] until he died. McVickar and Co., in 1803, and for some years afterwards, had among their clerks, Hubert von Wagenan, Jr. who afterwards became very celebrated in this city... Eliza, Edward[sic], John and Benjamin are the children living [1863] of the elder John McVickar. His grandchildren are very numerous and are intermarried with the first families in the United States. In 1798 to 1802 John was the governor of the New York Hospital... in 1805, [he] became one of the directors of the Western and Northern Coal Company... In 1809, John took into partnership his son James and Mr. Stewart, and the firm was 'John McVickar, Son and Stewart,' at the old stand, No. 2 Burling Slip. But both son and John, the father, lived at 20 Dey Street. In 1810, Mr. John McVickar moved to No. 6 Vesey Street. I think he gave up business in 1811, to his brother Nathan, and the firm was 'McVickar and Stewart' until 1812. In that year John McVickar died. His widow removed from No. 6 Vesey Street back to the old No. 231 Broadway. The firm dissolved, and Nathan resided at 24 White Street. Among the leading traits of character of John McVickar may be noted that nice sense of commercial honor which gives to the merchant his highest dignity and leads to the noblest use of wealth. He was marked accordingly by generous aid to deserving young merchants in trouble, so much so that it became a common speech on change in disastrous times, 'Well! Who is McVickar going to help today?' In building churches and aiding the clergy, he was always prominent - on the 'Dongan Domain,' Staten Island, he both gave the land and built the church.On this large domain coming down from Dongan, the first Governor of the Province, one legal claim still remains to the heirs of McVickar, viz. the original reservation to the lord of the manor, of 'all Ponds, water courses, and mines.' Such reservation being expressly named and provided for in all early deeds. At his late seat at Bloomingdale, he was one of the original founders of St. Michael's Church, and during the occurrence of the yellow fever in the city, he provided for the family of Rev. Dr. Hobart, his clergyman, a safe country retreat. As a merchant he was marked by sound judgment and large views. In addition to his regular business of importation, he was a large ship owner, and one of the earliest in the direct trade with China from the port of New York. His favorite ship "Betsy," Captain Carberry, was familiarly known. Though himself without classical education, he highly valued it for his sons, and prized and patronized the best schools. Columbia College received the next son. One, Archibald, enjoyed the farther advantage of an English University training, and all in turn had the benefit of a European visit for health and pleasure. In 1804, he revisited for the second and last time his native land, accompanied by his son John, born in America - a circumstance which in these days of alien laws, in England led to a singular controversy with government - the office refusing to regard the father as alien, and Mr. McVickar insisting that as an American citizen he was an alien, and demanding that he should be included in all the penalties and restrictions that rested on such, - a proof of patriotism, we may add more unquestionable than many that now pass for such. In his visit to Ireland, so familiar was his name and reputation in commercial circles, that it was jokingly proposed that the Lord Lieutenant should confer on him the dignity of Knighthood, as a benefactor to of Ireland... Old John McVickar had a country seat out at Bloomingdale, where he used to spend a great deal of his time in summer, after he retired from business, and while he lived at No. 6 Vesey Street. That was a large mansion. The old merchant John was one of the most sterling men in the city. His firm did a general commission business - receiving vessels and cargoes from all parts of the West Indies as well as from Europe. In addition, his house dealt heavily in Irish goods. John McVickar & Co. were the heaviest importers of Irish linens into the New York market. Every vessel from Belfast brought them heavy invoices. They never sold less than a case of their linens. The store of old John, where he did business so many years, was on the right side of Burling Slip as you go from Pearl to Water. It was about in the rear where a bank is now located. In these times, we can form no idea of the vastness of the Irish linen trade sixty years ago. It was all old-fashioned made, spun and wove by hand in Ireland, and of course, there was no machinery as now. It was the great article of trade. Here we had no such goods. The highest of our manufacture then was old 'tow cloth.' We had no cotton or woolen goods made here. No sattinettes, and the numerous fabrics of American manufacture were made in a thousand factories. So far this small village [75,000 in 1805] in the olden times, Irish linen was a great article of trade. All the buyers used to go down to Old John himself, or if not in, to the brother Nathan. Clerks were not deemed the right persons to buy of. The buyer thought, of course, he could get better bargains of the principals; and their say, too, as to prices was final, while with the clerks it was not. Old John was not above his business. Sometimes, he would take out his watch and look at it. 'I am to meet the board of directors at the bank; won't brother Nathan do?' If brother Nathan would not do, although such an answer was rare, then brother John would do the selling until the customer was satisfied, for he regarded good sales as one great element of success in the career of a leading merchant, and he was always the salesman when at home. He was rather tall, somewhat sharp-featured, and looked like a foreigner. An early portrait of him supposed to be by Copley, gives the impression of a fine and resolute will, yet gentle heart. In those days, the great merchants like John McVickar & Co. always sent the goods home to the store of their customers, free of expense. Only goods bought at 'vendure,' were carted home at the expense of the buyer.' | John MCVICKAR

S.R. Durand:
"On November 12, 1825 [Dr. Benjamin McVickar's 26th birthday] he and Isaphene Catherine Lawrence were married by his brother, Rev. John McVickar D.D., at the home of her parents at 498 Broadway... Benjamin McVickar's brother John was 12 years older than he. John was a distinguished professor at Columbia University, and a book has been published about his life. It is entitled 'The Enterprising Life - John McVickar. It was written by John Brett Longstaff, and published in 1961."
From "Old Merchants of New York City," by Walter Barrett, Second Series, 1863, chapter 28, as quoted by S.R. Durand:
"John, the third son, [of John and Ann (Moore) McVickar], was a prfessor and clergyman. He married Eliza, daughter of the celebrated Dr. Bard who was president of the first Medical College. He is still alive and has several children. One is a much-esteemed clergyman, William McVickar."
From "The Enterprising Life, John McVickar 1787-1868," as quoted by S.R. Durand: "In 1829, John McVickar was acting president of Columbia University and conferred honorary degrees on four recipients, all of whom had personal significance for him. They were his cousin Clement Moore, professor of the General Seminary and for the past fifteen years secretary of the Columbia trustees [and also, the author of 'A Visit from St. Nicholas,' which begins famously 'Twas the night before Christmas...'], and McVickar's college and club confrere, James Renwick, both to receive L.L.D.'s. A D.D. was awarded to Jackson Kemper [my ancestor], a former Columbia undergraduate whom McVickar was soon to champion in his pioneering career as bishop of the Northwest, and an L.L.D. to his boyhood companion who was destined to be his next-door neighbor in the latter years, Washington Irving. The following year, in 1830, when professor John McVickar was in Edinburgh, Scotland, Sir Robert Liston said that he had a message from Mrs. Grant of Laggan. The professor felt honored to hear that the famous authoress claimed him as 'her cousin,' he maiden name being McVickar, and that she desired much to see him. Professor Mac was familiar with Anne Grant's highly popular "Letters from the Mountains, " and her "Essays on Superstitions of the Highlands." She had been the wife of the minister of Laggan, Invernesshire, and for many years now she had been the center of a literary circle in Edinburgh.After breakfast the McVickars drove to Mrs. Grant's large house in the outskirts of Edinburgh and were ushered into what Professor Mac desribed as "an empty but not unfurnished, literary-looking drawing room." Mrs. Grant soon came in supported on crutches and aided by a servant, looking old and broken by years but still with much dignity. The moment she sat down, however, John McVickar was impressed with the fact that she was "full of life and interest." The history of the family name, the crest with its double-headed eagle and the motto 'Dominus Providebat,' she entered upon "with all her Scottish feeling." Her first question was as to the coat-of-arms the American McVickars bore (which is the same). Then she proceeded to tell of "the glens they once held - how the Campbells derived all their property and power from them by intermarriage with the heiress of the McVickars." She told Professor Mac that the Earl of Glasgow was the present head of their clan and urged that he go to see him." (Ref: pp. 150-151)

S.R. Durand: "My father's mother was born on November 2, 1838 in New York City, the fifth and youngest child of Dr. Benjamin Moore McVickar and Isaphene Catherine (Lawrence) McVickar. As a small child, she lived in Westchester County on her parents' estate, and in their New York City home. Both her mother and father had several married brothers and sisters, and my grandmother had many close friends among the many cousins of her age; these friendships she kept up all her life. When she was only 8 years old, in 1846, the family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When I was young, my grandmother often told me about large Indian encampments that arose each year in Milwaukee, at what is now the vicinity of Juneau Avenue and Milwaukee Street - only a short distance from her home. She told me, too, about the hard work that young ladies of her age did during the Civil War, making bandages and knitting scarves for soldiers. Along with other young ladies, she visited encampments of the Union army to distribute packages of special food and clothing. She was also one of a group of ladies who organized a soldiers' hospital. After the war, this hospital became a home for disabled veterans, and is still a veterans' home at Wood, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. My grandmother was a very handsome young lady, quite tall and slim, with dark hair and eyes. She and her two older sisters, Cornelia and Anna, were considered to be among the few most cultured and lovely young ladies in Milwaukee. My grandmother was married to Loyal Root Durand on September 3, 1866 in St. Paul's Episcopal Church. My father was born March 31, 1868, and his brother, Samuel Benjamin Durand, was born August 21, 1870. My grandfather died on November 19, 1871. He had only recently purchased a home for his family, but after his death my grandmother sold it. She instead built a house facing Cass Street, in back of her father's house, which faced Van Buren Street and lay at the southeast corner of Van Buren Street and Juneau Avenue. Her mother had died on September 18, 1868; so it must have been nice for her father, a widower living with servants in a large mansion, to have a daughter and two small grandsons next door. Along with her father, my grandmother was very active in the work of St. Paul's Episcopal Church and the diocese of Milwaukee. She was one of the founders of St. John's Episcopal Home for the Aged and of the Women's Club of Wisconsin, and served on the governing boards of these organizations for many years. She entrusted for investment her inheritance from her husband of $60,000 in life insurance to his younger brother, William Timothy Durand, who made some land speculations without success. The result was that most of the money was gone by the time my father and his brother had finished their college educations at the University of Wisconsin. When Dad's brother entered the University of Wisconsin in 1887, his mother gave up her home in Milwaukee and bought a home at the bend on Langdon Street in Madison. This enabled her to economize somewhat in providing college educations for her two sons, as well as providing a home for them during their university years. Her home became a meeting place for the Sigma Chis, and a place where many parties and dances were held. She spent summers with her two sons at Nashotah Lake, renting a home on the Nashotah Seminary grounds. In 1900, my father's brother, Samuel Benjamin Durand, died at the age of 30 in Denver. He had been afflicted with lung trouble from silicosis, and unknown disease in those days. My grandmother and his wife were with him for many months during his attempt to recuperate in Denver, and it must have been very sad for my grandmother to have lost a son of about the same age as that of her husband at his death. My grandmother came to live with us when we moved into the Lake Drive home [in 1906], and Dad became her sole support. Each summer from the time I was about 7 until about 16 years of age, we spent several weeks in the country in cottages rented on one of the lakes west of Milwaukee...my father spent the week in Milwaukee, where his mother with the servants maintained our home. All of her life after her husband's death, she wore only black mourning clothes. However, until very old age and very poor health, she was always a cheerful and pleasant person. She became quite deaf in the last years of her life. Among my earliest remembrances of my grandmother were the times she took me and my brother on the hour-long streetcar ride to the Soldiers' Home. These were exciting adventures for us, because we could stand on the streetcar alongside the motorman and pretend we were helping operate it. While my grandmother was having tea with friends including Mrs. Sharp, the wife of the commander of the home, General Sharp, we wandered about talking to old Civil War soldiers and hearing accounts from them of battles they had fought in. My grandmother had friends come in for tea most every afternoon when we were very young. We were allowed to come in for a cookie or a small piece of cake, and very weak tea with lots of warm milk. Tea, when guests were invited, was served in what we called the reception room instead of in the large parlor. This room was sort of considered my grandmother's special room until my parents purchased a piano and Victrola, when we called it the music room. When we were very young, my grandmother spent part of each year visiting relatives in the East. She had several very wealthy Lawrence and McVickar cousins who had summer homes at Newport, Rhode Island and Bar Harbor, Maine. She also visited her Hillhouse cousins in New Haven and her Wells cousins in upstate New York, at Constableville. And after 1910, when my father's aunts Jane and Louise Durand left Milwaukee to live with their widowed younger sister Hannah (Durand) Gould, she would stop in to see them in Rochester, New York, too. Occasionally my grandmother would go on Sunday picnics with us, but she never seemed to belong in the country; with her long black dress, black coat, and black bonnet tied under her chin, she seemed ill-suited to the gaiety of a picnic. Sometimes we would leave her for most of the day to visit her old friends in their country homes, returning late in the afternoon to pick her up. Much of the beautiful antique Lawrence and McVickar furniture, silverware, and china that graced our home had been inherited by my grandmother from her parents. Some of it she purchased from her sister Anna (Mrs. McCarter), at a time just before World War I when this widowed sister left the United States to make her home in Eastbourne, England, with her only daughter (Mrs. William Pond). This sister died in a bombing raid by zeppelins on Eastbourne in 1915. Many of the books in the large built-in bookcases on either side of the fireplace in our parlor were inherited by my grandmother from her father. My grandmother was named for her mother's sister, Maria Elizabeth, who married the Right Reverend William I. Kip, who from 1853 until 1893 was the Episcopal Bishop of California. He was my grandmother's godfather, and I have some letters and some books that he authored and sent to her. One outstanding characteristic of my grandmother was her intense love and devotion to her family, relatives, and friends. She was truly a lady of the highest culture of her day and age. She died at the age of 82, on January 29, 1920."

Doran-Wood citation: S.R. Durand: "John McVickar's wife survived him for most of 21 years. She had been a social leader in New York City. At the age of 70, she began to settle her affairs. She made over the family shares in the Society Library and the Tontine Coffee House, also a claim acquired from the Dongan Domain on Staten Island for 'all ponds, water coarses[sic], and mines,' and other rights and possessions indicative of the family's association with the development of the urban community. Then, on the 3rd of April in 1833, Anne McVickar succumbed to a 'rapid but not painful attack of the prevailing influenza, leaving the families of her seven surviving children to carry on the ideals she had set.' She was buried in the family vault at Trinity Church with her husband."
From 'Old Merchants of New York City,' Second Series, Chapter XXVIII, pages 281-290, as quoted by S.R. Durand:
"[In about] 1806, the first ladies of New York City began to discover that there was a great field open for their aid in relieving suffering and misery, and they commenced to band together in organizing societies. The first was the Orphan Asylum. It was founded in March, 1806. Mrs. McVickar was one of the trustees, and associated with her were Mrs. Bethune (Divie Bethune's wife), Mrs. Fairlie (wife of the Major), and other leading ladies. They appealed to the public, and started off with the bold declaration that no institution so much merited the aid of the well-inclined as this, - to feed and clothe the infant bereft of father and mother. They said: 'We believe charity in this country consists more in finding employment for the needy, than in supporting them in their idleness.' 'Pity, I own, to the distrest is due; But when the afflicted may themselves relieve, The fault's their own if they will suffer on' The next year a Society was started for the 'Relief of Poor Widows,' of which also Mrs. McVickar was a first manager, and so such female works have gone on almost sixty years in our midst." | Ann\Anna MOORE

He is the son of Benjamin and Anna SACKETT MOORE. Doran-Wood Note: S.R. Durand: "John Moore was born July 5, 1730, the youngest of nine children of his parents. He remained in Newtown, Long Island all of his life, living in the old homestead of his great-grandfather, Reverend John Moore, which had been built in 1656. This home was still in possession of the Moore family in 1902 and may still be today. John Moore and Hannah Whitehead were married May 2, 1752. They had nine children, our ancestress Anna Moore being their fourth child, born March 11, 1761. John Moore never was interested in holding any public office. At one time he entertained the Duke of Clarence, afterward William IV, King of England, who came to America in 1781 as a midshipman on a man-of-war under Admiral Howe. John Moore was persuaded by the Admiral to let his youngest son, Daniel Sackett Moore, go back with him as a midshipman. However, the son did not like the service, and returned home."
