Moses G Baldwin and Augustus W Sexton were in business together from about 1850 in New York City as Baldwin, Sexton & Co. From about 1876, Richard N Peterson was added and the firm name was changed to Baldwin, Sexton, Peterson & Co. This partnership was dissolved in 1884. IP: Logged |

Thanks for that. Augustus Wilder Sexton lived out on Statton Island, along with his son Augustus Jr. (also a jeweler) who married Catherine Cole Wood, grand-daughter of the silversmith Benjamin Wood. IP: Logged |

Your welcome. I don't know the family connections, but New York City Directories show William L Sexton and Isaac Cole in business together as Sexton & Cole from 1876 to 1885. Initially at 61 Nassau and later at 30 Maiden Lane. They were jewelry manufacturers. IP: Logged |

Yikes -- no more posts before the second pot of coffee. Staten it is and to add to bascall's last, William Sexton, manufacturing jeweler, is also living on the island in the 1880 census. He was not, that I can discover, a son of Augustus Sr., but undoubtedly related somehow. IP: Logged |

Augustus W Sexton Sr's second child was a William L. He appears in the 1850 U S Federal Census for New York, New York with his parents and family. In the 1870 U S Federal Census for New York, New York, the households of Sr, Jr, and William L are all one right after the other. Sr and Jr are listed as jewelry manufacturers and William L is listed as a jewelry salesman. [This message has been edited by bascall (edited 05-30-2009).] IP: Logged |

Moses Baldwin is an old, old Newark name. Downing too. Could have they have been a retail front for an early jewelry manufacturer in Newark? This was common practice: factory in Newark, sales shop in New York. IP: Logged |
