The Brigg's Bank of Clyde, Incorporated in 1856 was a capital stock of about $70,000
with Samuel S. Briggs as President, William H. Coffin as a cashier and principal manager
with stockholders including Messers Briggs, Coffin, Redfield, and Ketcham. In 1859
bad debts and losses amounted to nearly $50,000, and Mr. Briggs purchased the interests
of others and became sole owner. On January 28, 1860 Aaron Griswold purchased a half-interest,
which he retained until the death of Mr. Briggs in September 1865 at the time he sold
out to Samuel H. Briggs, Who bought up the remaining interests and sold part to W.H.
Palmer. In 1866 the bank*s circulation was called in, its securities in possession
of the state redeemed, and it was changed into a private bank under the name of Briggs
& Palmer.
This collection consists of an incomplete series of one cash book (April 1860-64),
one ledger of monthly accounts (February l86l-l863), and one volume of monthly transactions
and accounts (October 1854-58).
