CORNELIUS TIEBOUT

Cornelius Tiebout (b. New York, ca. 1773; d. New Harmony, Indiana, 1832) was an engraver. As an apprentice to the New York goldsmith, John Burger, he learned engraving and collaborated with Burger's son, John Burger, Jr., to bring out a sacred tunebook around 1789. He also engraved some other music in the 1790s. After spending the years 1793-96 in London, he returned to the U.S., settling around 1800 in Philadelphia. There he worked as an engraver into the 1820s, when he moved to the Middle West.
