The correct answer is Chemical Bank
So why is this answer correct? : Chemical Bank was originally chartered as a subsidiary of the New York Chemical Manufacturing Company in 1824.

Cornelius Roosevelt, Theodore’s grandfather, was one of the first directors of the bank, which is now part of the Chase Manhattan Corporation.
