Bigelow, of Cambridge, whose untiring efforts for the past two years have made this exhibition possible; to Mr. George H. Martin, whose early cooperation secured the loan of the silver belonging to the First Church of Christ in Lynn ; to the other churches who have responded so readily to the Museum's appeal; to the lenders of domestic silver; to Mr. George M. Curtis, of Meriden, Conn., for his intro duction on Connecticut silversmiths and for the names of many Connecticut makers; and to Mr. John Ware Willard, of Brookline, whose search among the old records of Massa chusetts has brought to light many new names and verified doubtful dates. Through the courtesy of the Metropolitan Museum and Mr. John H. Buck of New York, additional names and dates have been added to the list of makers from the Catalogue of the Hudson-Fulton Exhibition and from "Old Plate." Dr. Edwin Barber, of the Pennsylvania Museum, has also furnished data on the Pennsylvania silversmiths. The illustrations are from photographs by Mr. William Stone. ^«Ms».-™f A, *--v |f»_ 3>ftfl^ "¦*# ,M&i .H „_ .. .: Plate 1 693 84 808 998 809 694 530 492 194 810 47 531 722 840 721 819 962 807 Connecticut Makers INTRODUCTION EARLY SILVERSMITHS OF CONNECTICUT The greater part of the early silver found in Connecticut, either church or domestic, was made by the silversmiths of Boston and New York. This was but natural, for Con necticut had no large commercial ports where merchants grew rich through foreign trade and accumulated large surplus funds to invest in such luxuries as the productions of the silversmith's art. The population of the colony was almost wholly interested in agriculture and wealth was quite equally distributed. No one was very rich and no one very poor. Even New Haven, its largest town, the seat of a college, and in a limited way a commercial port, was distinctly a farming community. This was due to its geographical position, for no town in New England had been settled under fairer commercial prospects or with greater financial resources. In one respect the conditions in Connecticut one hundred and fifty years ago were not so different from those of to-day. If a man of means desired to purchase an article of excep tional quality and worth, he was apt to patronize the mer chants and craftsmen of those far-away cities, Boston and New York, where the styles were sure to be of the latest fashion and the workmanship of unusual merit; while a man of slender resources depended on nearby shopkeepers and artisans. Connecticut had silversmiths and a number of them did vi INTRODUCTION most creditable work when occasion demanded, although, owing to the influence just stated, their products seem to have been distributed almost wholly in their own localities, — one might indeed say among their fellow townsmen. One never finds in Hartford the work of a New Haven smith, or in New Haven the product of a man who was work ing in New London, except when recent migration has carried the ware from home. As a result, these silversmiths, in order to eke out a living in communities that were not lavish in accumulating their work, were obliged to turn their attention to various other trades. Some were clock and cabi net makers, others were blacksmiths and innkeepers, and some were undoubtedly, to use a homely phrase, jacks of all trades. Many of them advertised extensively in the weekly press, and these appeals for custom vividly illuminate the social and domestic demands and requirements of their patrons, and present striking pictures of the times. Undoubtedly the gold and silversmith shops were small affairs, with no cellars or substantial foundations, being similar in that respect to those of blacksmiths. They were frequently built on leased or rented land and could with little difficulty be moved to other sites. When Capt. Robert Fair- child, of Stratford, sold his homestead in 1768, he reserved the right to remove from the premises a goldsmith's shop. Such reservations were not unusual. The writer well remembers a visit in 1875 to the smithy of one of these artisans in East Hartford. There, busily engaged, was an old man forging spoons for a Hartford jeweler. The building could not have been more than fifteen by thirty feet, and yet there was ample room for every emergency. The smith had learned the trade just as his AMERICAN CHURCH SILVER vii predecessors of earlier days had done, and perhaps was the last of the fraternity. Let no one fancy them as other than men of might, for muscle and sinew were as needful in fashioning plate as in the trade of blacksmithing. The earliest silversmith in Connecticut of whom record has been found was Job Prince, of Milford. Few facts relat ing to him have been discovered and these indicate that he was born in Hull, Massachusetts, in 1680. He died appar ently in 1703, for the inventory of his estate is on file in the Probate Court, New Haven, dated January 24, 1703/4. The list includes: a set of silversmith's tools, a pair of small bellows, a pair of silver buckles, a tobacco box, a silver tankard, a porringer, and six spoons. The Princes were evidently a seafaring family and even Job owned a Gunter's scale, a compass, and a book on practical navigation. The next silversmith in Connecticut, so far as known, was Rene Grignon, a Huguenot, who had lived in several parts of New England and finally settled in Norwich, probably before 1708. He became a man of considerable importance during his short residence and, judging by the two pieces of silver still extant which it is safe to ascribe to him, was a good craftsman. He stamped his work with the letters " R. G.," crowned, a stag (?) passant below, in a shaped shield. He died in 1715 and his inventory contained the usual stock in trade of a gold and silversmith. His tools he left to his apprentice, Daniel Deshon, also a Huguenot, who was afterwards a silversmith in New London. Next in chronological order was Cornelius Kierstead, a Dutchman by descent, baptized in New York in 1675. He followed his trade in that city until about 1722, when he appeared in New Haven with two other Dutchmen, and viii INTRODUCTION leased lands in the Blue Hills district (now Mt. Carmel) and in Wallingford, for the purpose of mining copper. They were not the first men to search for the red metal in that region. It is perhaps needless to say that the venture was not successful, but the incident apparently settled Kierstead as a permanent resident of New Haven. On the map of the town, made in 1724, his home is indicated as being on the west side of Church Street, a short distance below Wall Street. He was still living in New Haven in 1753, for in that year the selectmen appointed a conservator to see that he did not waste his property. In a few Connecticut churches we find examples of his work, — a caudle cup in the Congregational Church, North Haven; a baptismal basin and a two-handled beaker, dated respectively 1731 and 1726, in the First Congregational Church, Milford ; and a tankard belonging to Trinity Epis copal Church, New Haven. John Potwine, who was born in Boston in 1698, followed his trade there until about 1737, when he moved to Hartford. For a time he seems to have continued as a silversmith, for three beakers made by him are owned by the Congregational Church, Durham, and two by the Congregational Church, South Windsor. He was apparently for a while in partner ship with a man named Whiting, and later he was a mer chant in Coventry and East Windsor, dying in the latter place in 1792. Shortly after the advent of Potwine, appeared another silver smith not of Connecticut lineage, Pierre or Peter Quintard, who was of Huguenot extraction and was probably born in New York. He was registered there as a freeman in 1731. In 1737 he came to Norwalk, bought several pieces of real estate and purchased a house lot in that part of the town now AMERICAN CHURCH SILVER ix known as South Norwalk. There he apparently passed the rest of his life. Two pieces of silver have been found made by him, — a tankard with flat lid and serrated edge, loaned to the Hudson-Fulton Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, New York, in 1909; and a caudle cup, owned by the First Congregational Church, Stamford. New Haven, the richest town in the colony, seems to have been a center of silversmithing. On the map of 1748 the shop of Timothy Bontecou is located on the west side of Fleet Street, which ran from State Street to the wharf. He was born in New York in 1693 (the son of Pierre, a Huguenot refugee, who had learned his trade in France) and is known to have been living in New Haven as early as 1735. He was the victim of an outrage by a mob of British soldiers at the time of the invasion in 1779, and died in 1784. From 1770 to 1800 the junction of Church and Chapel Streets was a favorite stand for silversmiths. On the southwest corner were located the following men, in the order named: Capt. Robert Fairchild, Abel Buell, and Ebenezer Chittenden. Captain Fairchild was born in Stratford in 1703. Shortly afterwards the family moved to Durham and there the young man first followed his trade. He became prominent, representing the town in the General Assembly from 1739 to 1745; was an auditor of the colony in 1740; and received the title of Captain in 1745. He removed to Stratford about 1747, and in 1772 to New Haven, and when a very old man to New York, where he died in 1794. It is probable that while in Stratford, John Benjamin (1730-1796) was his apprentice. He was certainly a silversmith, but, so far as known, only one example of his metal work survives, — the brass weathercock capping the spire of the Episcopal x INTRODUCTION Church, which was used as a target by a battalion of British soldiers quartered in Stratford during the winter of 1757-58. Of Fairchild' s work there are still extant the alms plate in Trinity Church, New Haven ; a beaker in the Congregational Church, Durham ; and two tankards, one the property of the Congregational Church, Green's Farms, the other of the Congregational Church, Greenfield Hill. Privately owned, by persons of Stratford antecedents, are a huge serving spoon, two braziers and many teaspoons. Abel Buell, whose home lot, with shop upon it, was next on the west to that of Robert Fairchild and separated from it by a narrow lane now known as Gregson Street, was a man of singular versatility and inventive genius. He was born in 1742 in that part of Killingworth now known as Clinton. He learned his trade of Ebenezer Chittenden in Madison. Before he had attained his majority he was convicted of counterfeiting, and confined in Norwich jail. On account of his youth he was soon released, but to the day of his death he bore the scars of cropped ear and branded forehead. Like other Connecticut silversmiths, his activities were not confined to his trade. He established a public vendue or auction room, ran a type foundry, was the coiner of the first authorized Con necticut coppers, established a cotton manufactory, invented a machine for grinding and polishing precious stones, and was an engraver of maps and bookplates. His roving dispo sition carried him to various parts of the world, and, like other rolling stones, he gathered no moss, but died in great poverty about 1825. His work as a silversmith is represented by five two-handled cups in the North Haven Congregational Church and a few pieces privately owned. Just west of Buell's stand were the house and shop of AMERICAN CHURCH SILVER xi Ebenezer Chittenden. He was born in Madison in 1726 and for a number of years worked at his trade in that place, removing to New Haven about 1770 possibly in company with his son-in-law and apprentice, Abel Buell. Thirteen beakers and a flagon seventeen and a quarter inches high, made by him, have been located in Connecticut churches. Chittenden was a man of excellent connections. He was a son of the sister of the famous Rev. Dr. Samuel Johnson, first president of King's, now Columbia, College, New York, and his brother Thomas became the first governor of Vermont. For a number of years he was either warden or vestryman of Trinity Church, New Haven. He died in 1812. On the southeast corner of Church and Chapel Streets was the shop of Richard Cutler. He was born in Fairfield in 1736, came to New Haven in 1760 and opened a shop where he continued in business until his death in 1810. The brothers, Capt. Phineas (1745-1797) and Col. Aner Bradley (1753-1824) were also early silversmiths in New Haven. Each gained his title in the Revolutionary War. Phineas had his home and shop on Court Street, but Aner, shortly after the war, settled in Watertown. Both were skilled workmen, and a number of articles bearing their marks are still in existence. Silas Merriman (1734-1805) and his son Marcus (1762- ) were natives of Cheshire, but the father had established himself in New Haven before 1772. Marcus was a soldier in the Revolution and was at one time in the company of Capt. Phineas Bradley. The shops of father and son were located on State Street, and the latter did an extensive business for the times. Thirteen of his beakers have been located in Connecticut churches and his spoons are frequently found xii INTRODUCTION in New Haven County. He formed partnerships with Bethuel Tuttle and Zebul Bradley, the firms being known as Marcus Merriman & Co., Merriman & Tuttle, and Merri man & Bradley. Marcus was still living in New Haven in 1840, when he was reported as a pensioner of the Revolution at the age of seventy-eight. Amos Doolittle was born in Cheshire in 1754 and learned the trade of a silversmith, but it is probable that he soon de voted all his time to engraving after moving to New Haven about 1775. His advertisements in the New Haven news papers are numerous and interesting. Miles Gorham (1757-1847) and his cousin John were active and enterprising silversmiths, and to the former must be credited four chalices with short stems in the Derby Con gregational Church. The names of both are sometimes found on spoons in New Haven County. There were, of course, a number of other silversmiths in New Haven of later date and lesser importance. Hartford does not seem to have been as prominent a center in the trade as New Haven. Of the craftsmen there, perhaps the most important, after Potwine' s day, was Col. Miles Beach who was born in Goshen in 1742, and for a number of years was a silversmith in Litchfield where he seems to have been prominent in many ways. He moved to Hartford in 1785, and was there in partnership with Isaac Sanford until 1788. From 1789 to 1797 he was in business with James Ward. He died in 1828. There are four interesting chalices, dated 1794, bearing his mark, in the Kensington Congregational Church, Berlin. Spoons marked with his name, "B. & S." and " B. & W." are not uncommon in Hartford County. James Ward (1768-1856), who was born in Guilford, AMERICAN CHURCH SILVER xiii learned his trade of Colonel Beach. He was prominent and in fluential, and was later in business with Roswell Bartholomew (1781-1830) and Charles Brainard. Silver marked with the names of these firms has been found in a number of places. Other silversmiths in Hartford in the latter half of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were James Tilley (1740-1792), Jacob Sargeant (1761-1843), and Enos Doolittle. The last two also advertised as clockmakers. Guilford was the home of two excellent silversmiths, namely, Billious Ward (1729-1777) and Capt. Samuel Parmelee (1737-1807). Two patens, five beakers, and many spoons marked "B. W." have been found in Connecticut, and were doubtless made by Ward. James Ward, the Hartford silversmith, was his son. In the Congregational Church, Guilford, are a massive baptismal basin and a beaker marked " S. Parmelee." Spoons so marked, or "S. P.," are not uncommon in that vicinity. Captain Parmelee was a prominent man in Guilford. He received his title in 1775, and saw active service in the Revolution. Major Jonathan Otis, of Newport, R. I., was a skilled craftsman. When the British occupied the town in 1776, he moved to Middletown where he died in 1791. Twelve of his cups have been found in Connecticut churches. Samuel Buell, Middletown 1777, and Hartford 1779, was a good workman, judging by the beaker marked " S. B.," belonging to the Center Congregational Church, Meriden. Other silversmiths in Middletown of lesser importance were, Judah Hart, Charles Brewer, Samuel Canfield, Joseph King, and William Johonnot, who were mostly occupied in making spoons and the quaint jewelry of the period. xiv INTRODUCTION Norwich was an important and wealthy town in the eigh teenth and early nineteenth centuries and had a number of skilful workmen. Perhaps the most important was Thomas Harland who was born in England in 1735, and came to Norwich in 1773, where he died in 1809. In addition to the trade of silversmithing, he was an expert watch and clock maker. In 1790, he had twelve workmen in his employ, his annual output being two hundred watches and forty clocks. He also produced quantities of jewelry which is described in his advertisements as "brilliant, garnet and plain gold rings, broaches, hair sprigs, ear jewels, and gold and silver buttons." His assortment of plate consisted of " teapots, sugar baskets, creamieures, tea tongs and spoons." Among his apprentices, afterwards in business in Norwich, were Nathaniel Shipman (1764-1853) ; and William Cleveland (1770-1837) grandfather of President Grover Cleveland. Joseph Carpenter (1747-1804) was an enterprising silver smith whose shop still stands fronting on the old town green. In it was lately found an engraved copper plate from which his business cards were printed. His name is surrounded with a graceful grouping of silver tea set, cake basket, mugs, spoons, tongs, buckles, watches, rings, a clock, and a knife box, illustrating the articles in which he dealt. At the top appear the words, "Arts and Sciences," on a ribbon scroll, while cherubs supported on clouds hover above these treasures. Other silversmiths in Norwich were William Adgate (1744_1779); Philip Huntington (1770-1825); Roswell Huntington (1763- ); Capt. Charles Whiting (1725- 1765); and David Greenleaf (1737-1800). New London, another enterprising town, had its quota of AMERICAN CHURCH SILVER xv silversmiths, John Gray (1692-1720); Samuel Gray (1684- 1713) ; John Hallam, in the latter half of the eighteenth cen tury, who engraved the plates for the bills of credit issued by the colony in 1775; Daniel Deshon (1697-1781) ; John Gard ner ( 1734-1776) who made the graceful cup once owned by St. James's Episcopal Church, New London, and now in posses sion of Berkeley Divinity School, Middletown, — a tankard once owned in Lyme but now in New Britain, dated 1773, — and spoons, marked "I. G.," in New London and Norwich; John Champlin whose shop was destroyed by the British in 1781; Jonathan Trott (1730-1815) who was born in Boston and followed his profession there until 1772, when he moved to Norwich, and shortly afterwards to New London, where he doubtless worked at his trade; and his sons Jonathan Trott, Jr. (1771-1813) who advertised to some extent, and John Proctor Trott (1769-1852) who did quite an extensive business for the times. Much plate, both hollow and flat, has been found marked "J. P. T." For a brief period, about 1792, he and William Cleveland were in partnership in New London. Other silversmiths in New London County were two men from Preston — John Avery (1732-1794), who, judging by the inventory of his estate, must have been of considerable im portance ; and Daniel Billings. Working in Stonington were Zebulon Stanton (1753-1828); Daniel Stanton (1755-1781) and Enoch Stanton (1745-1781), the latter two perishing at the defense of Fort Griswold in Groton. It is, of course, impossible to include in a sketch of this nature, the names of all the men who worked in Connecticut, but it would be unfair to omit Hervey Sadd (1776-1840), of New Hartford, who left many examples of his work in the xvi INTRODUCTION western part of the State ; Daniel Burnap, of East Windsor, one of the most expert clockmakers that this State has ever produced, who yet had time to make silver spoons; Abel Brewster, of Canterbury, whose work is found in Windham and New London Counties; and Barzillai Benjamin (1774- 1844), of Bridgeport, examples of whose work are found in Fairfield County.
