I recently purchased 12 monogrammed coin silver spoons marked J.S. Abbott. Who was he, and when and where was he a silversmith?

John S Abbott is found in Bethel Maine in the 1860 U S Federal Census, and his occupation is watchmaker. In the 1870 U S Federal Census, he is in Conneaut, Ohio working as a jeweler. The 1880 U S Federal Census for Conneaut, Ohio shows his widow working as a Fancy Goods Dealer.
