He was instrumental in the founding of the first national bank, the country's first tariff system, and established commercial economic policy for the newly formed nation. By 1792, Hamilton's principles were adopted by Congress, resulting in the Coinage Act of 1792, and the creation of the mint.
Robert Purviance (1734-1806) was born in Ireland and settled in Baltimore during the 1760s, establishing a successful shipping and distillery business with his brother. During the Revolution the firm engaged in privateering, and both brothers were active in local politics.
