Tappan, Lewis 1788-1873
Merchant; brother of Arthur Tappan; born in Northampton, Mass., May 23, 1788; received a common school education; established himself in business with his brother in 1814.
Later he became interested in calico-print works and the manufacture of cotton; removed to New York in 1827, and with his brother engaged in the importing trade.
In 1833 he became deeply interested in the anti-slavery movement, in consequence of which he and his brother at various times suffered personal violence.
He was involved in the crisis of 1837, and soon after withdrew from the firm and established the first mercantile agency in the country.
He died in Brooklyn, N. Y., June 21, 1873.
