Primary Evidence
"other notable patriots realized that a new nation, especially a nation of wooden buildings, couldn't long survive without protecting its real estate. Alexander Hamilton took time out from political wrangling to found Mutual Assurance of New York, while John Marshall, original chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, launched the Mutual Assurance Society Against Fire on Buildings in Virginia. One of Marshall's best customers was Thomas Jefferson, who bought a policy for his Monticello mansion."
