Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), His son, Thomas Dekay 1820-1878 (search)

His son, Thomas Dekay 1820-1878 Engineer, born in Vernon, N. J., Dec. 6, 1820, became a partner with his father and his brother, William Lewis. In 1843, with Andrew M. Eastwick, and Joseph Harrison, he went to Russia in the place of his father, who had been invited to St. Petersburg by the Russian government, and executed a contract to construct the rollingstock of the railroad between St. Petersburg and Moscow, for $3,000,000. Later other contracts were concluded which proved very lucrative. He invented with his father and brother a system of steam navigation known as the cigar-ship, and a tubular arrangement by which young trout could be easily fed. He died in Newport, R. I., June 11, 1878.
