ShookRemark: The $10 bank note is a bit mysterious like so many notes from this period, and other denominations are known to exist that are similar with LaPorte being overwritten with "Valparaiso." This suggests that a Valparaiso branch existed for this company or that it may have changed of location of operation.Porter County, Indiana, was authorized into existence by the Indiana State Legislature on February 5, 1836, and organized in 1837, with Valparaiso serving as the county seat; Porter County was cleaved off from LaPorte County. At the time that this note was issued on January 1, 1838, the county was approaching its second year of existence.Published in the January 18, 1839, issue of Der Vaterslandfreund und Geist der Zeit of Canton, Ohio, is the following information about the Indiana Trust & Exchange Company [translated from German]:"Shinplaster. – The Hamilton Intelligencer of January 15 [1839] reported that a company of persons had smothered some parts of the county with paper money certified: The Indiana Trust $ Exchange Co. Payable cash in Laporte, Indiana and signed E. Brown Bishop, Gen’l Partner. The notes are set to one, five and ten dollars. The State of Indiana has never authorized the issuance of such paper, and does not permit anyone to see the same in circulation. More than $50,000 found their way into Preble County [Ohio]."Published in the February 2, 1839, issue of the Richmond Palladium of Richmond, Indiana, is the following information about the Indiana Trust & Exchange Company:Swindlers of the Shinplaster Stamp – A gang of Swindlers in Hamilton co. Ohio, have flooded some portions of that county with paper money, bearing as its title “The Indiana Trust and Exchange Co.” made payable at Laporte, Ia., and signed E. Brown Bishop, General Partner. The notes are of the denominations of ones, fives and tens. The state of Indiana has never authorized the issuing of such paper, neither does justice license any man to circulate it. More than Fifty Thousand Dollars have made their way into Preble county. – N., Y. Star.E. Brown Bishop may be a fictitious name used to sign the Indiana Trust & Exchange Company notes given the information above. However, the 1840 and 1850 Federal Census enumerations for LaPorte County, Indiana, list Elijah Bishop; the 1850 enumeration indicating that Elijah was a farmer residing in Galena Township. Elijah is buried at Lambs Chapel Cemetery in LaPorte, LaPorte County, Indiana. His burial information indicates that he was born June 23, 1811, in Ohio, and died on December 22, 1892, in Indiana.Furthermore, E. D. Daniels’ history of LaPorte County, published in 1904, includes a rather long biographical sketch of Henry Robertson Bishop, which includes considerable information about his father, Elijah Bishop. Elijah’s father is mentioned as being the son of Benjamin Bishop, a sailor who joined the army in the fight for independence during the Revolutionary War. Benjamin later learned the blacksmith’s trade and then turned to farming in Preble County, Ohio, before removing to Wayne County, Indiana. It is rather interesting that Elijah was likely familiar with Preble County, where these notes were circulated, and was raised in Wayne County, Indiana, the county where the Richmond Palladium was published. Elijah was a pioneer of LaPorte County, Indiana, having settled there in 1833.Source Information:Daniels, E. D. 1904. A Twentieth Century History and Biographical Record of LaPorte County, Indiana.
