While searching early New York Baptism Records. I found this interesting item. Baptismal Date: Feb. 22. 1643 This is the earliest item I have found referenceing a practicing Silversmith, Goldsmith Occupation in America. I also found that Gerrit Onclebagg was Baptized on 2/18/1663, 6/3/1665 and 4/17/1670 with the same witness each time. Either he was the most baptized person in New York or there were other Gerrit's that died in infancy and they kept naming the next son Gerrit. Regardless he probably needed some more christening because he was charged with Counterfeiting on Nov 3rd 1702, Bastardy in 1710 and Champerty in 1712. He took off to New Jersey to escape accusations but later returned to New York. IP: Logged |

There was Daniell Stalling, jeweler and worker of silver who was in the first re-supply of settlers at Jamestown in 1608. There were also four metal refiners, William Dawson, Abraham Ransacke, William Johnson, and Richard Belfield. Digs at the re-discovered fort have yielded scrap pieces and tailings of brass, pewter, and silver. IP: Logged |
