Leupp, Esq., in a letter to the author as follows: "The family originally came from Nieuweid on the Rhine. When my uncle Charles M., of New York, was visiting that place about 1840 he saw on the old gravestones the name spelled Lupp, and thought the dots over the u indicated e and, that the spelling should not be lost entirely, incorporated the e in the name, and the other members of the family agreeing, the spelling was changed to the prevailing mode" Notables New Yorkers, 1896-99, King: William Hopkins Leupp. Second Vice President, Farmers Loan and Trust Co.

From the History of New Brunswick, New Jersey, p. 200, 210 [?]: 1945 Mayor, Wm H. Leupp. (Epidemic year) A Very Social History, Kate Simon, page 121-2: Of a family named Gold that settled in Connecticut in the mid-seventh century, Jay Gould was, like all robber barons, a boy who knew very early what he wanted - a great deal of money - ... At twenty he was already in charge of a Pennsylvania tannery, one of several owned by former Congressman Pratt. To know more about the leather market he came to New York, observed the larger markets, organized his new information and stepped onto his sinuous path of high finance. With Pratt money he established himself as Jay Gould and Company,... Two of his backers, the prosperous Charles Leupp and his brother-in-law David W. Lee, would own two-thirds of the tannery for their investment of sixty thousand dollars. Without their knowledge, Gould used their money to try to corner the hide market. Several markets fell apart in 1857, with them hides, and Gould could not cover his futures bought on margin. Demands for payment came to the reputable Leupp whose credit Gould had used while he squandered his investment. Not prepared for this new-style rapacity, humiliated by a twenty-one-year-old crook, he reputation sullied, Leupp shot himself. When Lee, of stronger stuff, insisted on getting the sixty thousand back, Gould agreed to return it over six years at no interest. The infuriated Lee brought in men to take the Gouldsboro plant. Militarily, the victory was Gould's but Lee was tenacious and a lawyer and the legal battles proved too draining. The tannery closed down... N.Y. City Directory, 1843-4: Charles M.

National Cyclopedia of American Biography, p. 423, vol. 5: Gideon Lee, merchant of New York, born in Amherst, Mass... he died Aug. 21, 1841. He left a large fortune, and his son-in-law Charles L. Leupp became well known in the leather trade, having succeeded to Mr. Lees business. [This is obviously our Charles M. Leupp.] The Silversmiths of New Jersey, by Carl M. Williams, 1949: William Lupp: working 1790-1845, born December 25, 1766, died July 13, 1845. There is an abundance of evidence to show that William Lupp was a working gold and silversmith. Two of his account books survive; a document dated 1801, describes him as a goldsmith, and many other contemporary records attest his calling. In the light of this proof, and the fact that he was active in New Brunswick for a half century, it is difficult to believe that no work by this man has been identified. Inquiry in New Brunswick and among silver collectors has failed to locate a single example by him. Two of William Lupp's account books, covering the periods 1801-1810, and 1825-1827, are in the collections of Rutgers University Library. If the hundreds of entries in these books are representative of his work, then is is evident that William Lupp specialized in gold and silver jewelry, and spoons. He apparently made hundreds of gold rings. In his will, dated January 1, 1806, John Dennis, Senior, of North Brunswick, Middlesex County, ordered nine mourning rings to be made by William Lupp "with my hair and given to my children." Like the cabinetmakers and other craftsmen of that day, silversmiths were called upon to do a wide variety of work not directly related to their trade. In 1804, Mr. Garnet paid William Lupp to tune and repair his piano, Colonel Neilson had his "specks" repaired, and another resident of New Brunswick brought a broken umbrella. On September 1, 1805, he began to take care of the town clock. In his will, dated August 17, 1833, William Lupp bequeathed his tools and shop furniture to his son, John H. Lupp, who had been active with him in trade for a number of years. From a book I thumbed through called "Old Merchants of New York" or something like that: Charles Leupp had sons-in-law or brothers-in-law (shoot, I can't remember) Gideon Lee and Shephard Knapp.
