Does anyone have any information on a Michael Bourchner New York Silversmith.
I have just recently stumbled across this early silversmith and the only thing I know about him was that he was married to a single woman named Mary English on Feb. 20th
1692/93. He would be one of the earlier silversmiths in New York.

Thanks, Tad

He is mentioned as a silversmith in a book entitled " New York Marriages Previous to 1784" by the Genealogical Publishing Company Inc., in Baltimore 1984. Page 579, Liber 3-4:414.

I found another listing with a different spelling under, Mary English m. Michael Bourthier, 20 Feb 1693
(G.B.R. 2: 142)
