vathek Posts: 966 Registered: Jun 99	posted 06-01-2000 01:24 PM Is anyone familiar with a silversmith named Dufeu? Probably southern, possibly Kentucky. thanks IP: Logged
wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 06-01-2000 03:25 PM I find no notice of a Dufeu; is the name possibly Dufen? The 1859 Kentucky State Business Directory lists a Charles F. Dufen as a manufacturer of wholesale jewelry and silverware in Maysville. The Maysville census of 1860 notes Charles F. Dufen as age 28, watchmaker and silversmith, owner of $2000 in property.

bascall Posts: 1629 Registered: Nov 99	posted 09-03-2009 12:17 AM There is a Charles F Dufeu who was born on the Island of Guernsey in about 1832 and immigrated to the United States in 1855. He is in the 1860 U S Federal Census for Maysville, Kentucky and in the 1870 and 1880 U S Federal Census's for Chillicothe, Ohio as a jeweler and watchmaker. There are at least a couple mentions of Charles F Dufeu in the Jeweler's Circulars which can be easily searched on Google books with the keywords "jeweler Dufeu." Charles F Dufeu and his son Walter who was also a jeweler and was born in Kentucky are both in the 1900 and 1910 and possibly later U S Federal Census's for Demopolis, Alabama. IP: Logged
