Description

Joel Tiffany
STATE REPORTER: 1863 - 1868
The eleventh official Reporter of New York was born in Barkhamstead,
Connecticut, on September 6, 1811. Tiffany attended Amherst College,
married Caroline Tyron, and moved to Elyria, Ohio, by 1835. He
practiced law in Elyria and Medina, Ohio, for several years, including
a brief term as a prosecuting attorney. He also was active in the
early Republican party and was instrumental in establishing its
platform on several issues. During the years preceding the Civil War,
Tiffany achieved prominence as an outspoken advocate of abolition,
culminating in his book, A Treatise on the Unconstitutionality of
American Slavery, published in 1849. Upon relocating to New York City
in the 1850s, Tiffany published Tiffany’s Monthly, a periodical “Devoted
to the Investigation of Spiritual Science.” His published 1859 interview
with Book of Mormon witness Martin Harris remains an important
historical resource on the origins of Mormonism. From 1863 to 1868,
while residing in Albany, he served as State Reporter and published
volumes 28 to 39 of the New York Reports. During his tenure as State
Reporter, Tiffany authored several legal treatises, including The Law of
Trusts and Trustees, as Administered in England and America (1862)
and Tiffany & Smith’s New York Practice (1864). In 1869, Tiffany moved
to Illinois, where he became the first president of the Village of
Hinsdale in 1873. After the death of Caroline Tyron, he was married to
Margaret Mason. Tiffany was the father of nine children. He died in
Hinsdale on July 1, 1893.
