Knox, 1885 Louis Simond, as the house that gave a mercantile education to Peter H. Schneck, continued in business from about 1792 until the war. At its commencement, L. Simond and Company was at No. 65 Greenwich Street. They did a heavy West India business and sold 1,000 puncheons of rum every year. Henry Garnett was a clerk in that house many years. Then in 1814 the house dissolved and Mr. Simond lived at 57 Broadway. I am not aware that the house failed, but it is most likely. All those who were extensively engaged in foreign commerce in 1813, found their connections and resources cut off and were obliged to close up their business.
