Drexel and Company: Founded in 1838 by Francis Martin Drexel. The company experienced early success from opportunities created by gold discoveries in California. A. J. Drexel, the son of Francis Martin Drexel, became the head of Drexel & Company when his father died in 1863. A.J. partnered with J.P. Morgan and created one of the largest banking companies in the world, Drexel, Morgan & Co., which might explain the formal association with Morgan, Haries on the transaction fragment posted above.
