}}Thomas Jefferson Van Alstyne (July 25, 1827 – October 26, 1903) was a U.S. Representative from New York.[1]

Early life

Thomas Jefferson Van Alstyne was born on July 25, 1827 in Richmondville, New York.[2] He was the son of Dr. Thomas B. Van Alstyne and Eliza Gile.[3]

Van Alstyne attended the common schools, Moravia (New York) Academy, and Hartwick (New York) Seminary. In 1848 he graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. In 1851, he received his master of arts degree from Hamilton.[4]

He studied law in Albany, New York, was admitted to the bar in 1849 and practiced in Albany. In 1848, he entered the law office of Harris and Van Vorst. In 1853, he was invited to and formed a partnership with Matthew McMahon.[4]

He served as a Union Army judge advocate with the rank of major during the Civil War. He served as judge of Albany County from 1871 to 1882.[2]

Van Alstyne was elected as a Democrat to the Forty-eighth Congress and served one term, March 4, 1883 to March 3, 1885.[3] In Congress, he was a member of the Committee on Claims and the Committee on Expenditures of the Department of Justice.[4] He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1884 to the Forty-ninth Congress and returned to the practice of law.[1]

He served as mayor of Albany from 1898 to 1900.[1] He won the Democratic primary for reelection but lost the election to James H. Blessing.[4]
