Abraham Van Vechten was born in Catskill, N.Y. in 1762 and died in Albany in 1837. He was one of the first lawyers admitted to the bar after the adoption of the state constitution and soon ranked with the gifted men of that time, among whom were Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr and Robert Livingston. At various times he held the positions of recorder of the city of Albany, 1797-1808; state senator, 1798-1805 and 1816-1819; member of the assembly, 1806, 1808-1813; attorney-general, 1810, 1813-1815; member of the constitutional convention, 1821, and regent of the University of the State of New York, 1797-1823. Though in public office for some twenty years, the larger portion of his life was devoted to the practice of law and especially to the trial of cases on appeal. On several occasions he was offered the appointment of judge of the Supreme Court but declined the honor because he preferred the labors of the bar to those of the bench. The reports of the appellate courts of this state give some indication of the amount of professional labor performed by him.
The collection includes about 5,000 papers. Of these 125 are deeds with dates ranging from 1712 to 1828; some of the earlier ones are on parchment and many are not recorded. Three original land patents are included, one granted in 1667 by Gov. Richard Nicolls to Abraham Staats, another in 1790 by Gov. George Clinton to Ephraim Blower, and the third in 1791 by Gov. Clinton to John Taylor. There are 15 wills, three of them in Dutch, between the dates 1747 and 1818; mortgages, leases and other legal documents are numerous and most of them are earlier than 1800. There are papers, both legal and personal, relating to the families of Bradstreet, Caldwell, Cochran, Duncan, Duryea, Finck, Fonda, Forsyth, Grover, Hicks, Jackson, Lyon, Malin, Newkirk, Schuyler, Taylor, Ten Broeck, Thompson, Vandenburgh, Van Horn, Van Rensselaer, Van Schaack, and Viele; to the North Dutch, and the Associate Reformed Presbyterian churches of Albany, and to Union College. There are also several early maps and surveys.
Papers classified by counties include documents of Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Washington, Montgomery, Herkimer, Oneida, Dutchess, and Queen counties.
In addition, the collection contains a large number of Mr. Van Vechten's briefs on cases in the Albany Mayor's Court, the Supreme Court, the Court of Chancery, and the court for the Correction of Errors.
