John Bond Trevor (1822 - 1890) was an American financier and Wall Street pioneer. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,[1] he moved to New York City in 1849. In 1850 he became a member of the New York Stock Exchange and entered into brokerage with the firm of Carpenter, Van Dyke & Trevor. That venture was dissolved in 1852 when he formed a partnership with James Boorman Colgate. The firm Trevor & Colgate existed until 1872, at which time it was reformed under the name James B. Colgate & Co. Trevor continued as partner of this firm until his death in 1890.[2]
In 1877, he built Glenview Mansion in Yonkers, New York. This residence stands today as part of the Hudson River Museum. Trevor was a Presidential Elector in 1880 and was for a time a director of the Northern Pacific Railway.[2]
His father, John B. Trevor (1788-1860), was Pennsylvania Treasurer from 1820 to 1821.
His son John B. Trevor Sr. (1878-1956) was an American lawyer and political activist.
