- David W. (David Woodhull) Wetmore (1798-1879) was a New York City iron merchant. David W. Wetmore letters and documents, 1822-1869, consist of letters addressed to David W. Wetmore at New York, Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, and Liverpool, England, 1845-1869, and Wetmore's certificates of appointment for the 75th Regiment of Infantry, N.Y.S. Militia, as ensign, captain and major, 1822-1827. Letters, in chronological order, chiefly concern his iron business, particularly production and sale of iron for the railroad and whaling industries. Correspondents include Henry Brevoort Jr., Stephen Vail, Lawrence Grinnell and other New England merchants, and Liverpool merchants Brown, Shipley & Co. There are letters to him from his wife and children (1847 June 22 and September 25), and other family members. Also included are six letters from his son-in-law Richard H. Chapell of New London, Connecticut, to Wetmore's son Jacob S. Wetmore concerning his father's whaling ventures and family matters, 1869.
