Marcus (Aug. 30, 1817 – Sep. 3, 1863), Martha B. (Nov. 30, 1819 – Sep. 21, 1896), Richard Esselstyne (Mar. 28, 1824 – Jan. 5, 1896), Frances Elizabeth (Feb. 8, 1827 – Nov. 25, 1902), Grace, and Orville F. (Feb. 25, 1830 – Nov. 26, 1902.) Betsey also raised her nephew Moses Hopkins Stanley, who was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts (Nov. 1807 – April or May 1856). Orville Hungerford's success was a direct result of the support given by his wife Betsey: "She was a woman of beautiful character and disposition, and an efficient colaborer with her revered husband in all his benevolent works." Banker Because Jefferson County, New York was expanding in the early nineteenth century due in part to the development of the Eire Canal from 1817 to 1825, farmers and businessmen there needed greater access to capital. In 1816, Jabez Foster, who was Orville's brother-in-law and mercantile business partner, along with others successfully petitioned the legislature to establish the Jefferson County Bank. Foster was chosen to help apportion stock and choose the building location, which was a contentious matter because each community in the area wanted the bank to be located there. As a compromise, the bank ended up being housed in a brick Georgian colonial mansion on Church Street in the village of Adams, New York. The bank was initially capitalized with $50,000.00, of which half the amount was paid in. However, the bank did not fare financially well in Adams. Pursuant to an act passed on November 19, 1824, the bank relocated to Watertown and the capital fund was increased to $80,000.00. Jabez Foster served as the second president of the Jefferson County Bank (1817–1819) and later resumed the office for a short period (1825-1826) after Bank President Ethel Bronson died. Orville served as bank cashier (1820–1833) and later as bank president (1834–1845). In turn, Orville hired his nephew Orville V. Brainard first as a bank teller and then as his replacement as cashier, a position Brainard held for 33 years. As cashier of the Jefferson County Bank, Orville Hungerford and bank president Jabez Foster presented to the New York State Assembly the following fiscal report dated March 3, 1821: $98,833.03 owed to the bank, $57,870 of capital stock paid in, $4,096.84 owed by the bank, and $34,185.35 of bank notes in circulation.
