The First Bank of Elmira was organized in November 1863, with Samuel R. Van Campen becoming the President and his father-in-law, John T. Rathbun, a director.[7] Samuel continued as President until he resigned in October, 1867.[8] Irregularities in the bank's accounts were discovered, which led to ongoing legal actions.[7][8] Samuel probably left Elmira for New York City, for he was taken into custody in the Southern District of New York, and after failure of an appeal it was ordered that he be transferred to the Northern District of New York.[8] Samuel hasn't been located in the 1870 census, but it seems his wife was living in New York City with their younger son and seven servants.[9]

    "In 1835 Mr. Rathbun married Maria, the daughter of Jesse Reed, one of the prominent citizens of Auburn. She died in 1846. There were four children born to the couple : George R., John H., Mary, and one that died in infancy. Only one of these is living, the first named. The daughter Mary married Samuel R. Van Campen, at one time a banker in Elmira. She was a most estimable woman, winning the admiratiori of all for the sweetness of her disposition and at the same time possessing a character that for its vigor, independence, and strength is rarely met with. She died in June, 1891, leaving two sons, Samuel R. Van Campen, jr., and John Rathbun Van Campen, who promise to carry down to posterity the characteristics of their mother with the manly and earnest qualities of their grandfather."
