Additional information was discovered concerning Elisha and his prosperous NYC business. James Burt reduced Elisha’s once prosperous New York City hat business to almost nothing. James had been an apprentice for Elisha and about 1845 began experimenting with hat-making machinery. When the process was perfected, James opened a business of his own and became successful.
After his hat manufacturing business declined during the 1850’s Elisha began purchasing distressed NYC property and was able to accumulate a modest fortunate. These properties, most given to bankruptcy, were Elisha’s specialty. From New York civil records it is alleged that Elisha conspired with New York City bankruptcy officials to gain insider information for the most lucrative properties. Several NY Supreme Court cases contain records of foreclosures where Elisha was the defendant.
Many other documents exist for his children, and grandchildren. Elisha also has a 1833 slander and deformation of character case where he was the plaintiff. In 1833 a handbill circulated alleging Elisha contracted NY State prison labor from Sing-Sing to manufacture his hats. There is another case between Elisha and Frederick Bloomer in 1850 and Frederick and his family were listed living in NYC in 1860. Regardless of the out come of these legal actions, Elisha’s 1870 estate was valued at over $200,000 and the children of Mary Jane (Bloomer) Cook were left with a hansom legacy.
In 1859 Elisha and James G. Wilson were ordered by the NY State Supreme Court to pay a judgment to Frederick Bloomer [Film 0566229 p. 441]. While several Frederick Bloomers are descendants of Anderson Bloomer, this Frederick is believed to be the Elisha’s brother. John W. Bloomer grandson of Anderson and Margaret Van Wagner had a son named Frederick.
