This is one just for everyone to pencil into their reference books. Samuel A. Jarden, of Philadelphia (ca. 1828-1843) and Baltimore (1843-1854), then again in Philadelphia by 1859, Daguerrean artist and silversmith. He may have only been a silverplater, but there is so little on him it's hard to say for sure. Only piece to come to light, that I'm aware of, is a salt spoon marked incised S A JARDEN. He was in partnership with his brother in 1859, but apparently alone prior to this.

The 1859 Philly city directory lists John S. and Samuel A. Jardon as J. S. JARDON & BRO., electroplaters, at 304 Chestnut. W. W. Jardon, burnisher, is listed separately at the same address.

If my interpretation is correct, it may be worth noting that the July to December 1865 IRS Tax Assessment lists S A Jarden at 306 Chestnut as an agent for Krider & Biddle at 618 Chestnut.

The first two Samuel A Jardens mentioned at the beginning of this thread may be the same person, but the third one is unlikely.

The two silverplaters John S Jarden who was born in Pennsylania in about 1832 and appears to have died on 9 November 1863 while serving in the Civil War in a Heavy Artillery Regiment as a Captain and Samuel A Jarden who was born in about 1863 and died in about 1874 are not of the correct generation.
