bascall Posts: 1629 Registered: Nov 99	posted 03-21-2009 02:26 PM Lysander S Hill may have got around, in 1850 a Lysander S Hill was in Ypsilanti lised as a merchant, in 1860 he was in Urbana, Illinois listed as a silversmith, and in 1870 he was in Grand Rapids listed as a jeweler. Most of the census's show his birth state as Pennsylvania. It looks like Lysander has a few patents to his credit, among them a jeweler's chuck. A Lysander S Hill traded in guns, pistols and sporting goods in general on Pearl Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan around the 1880's under the business name Lysander S Hill & Co until his death in 1888.

Middletom, have you had a look at Rainwater's Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers. There is a good write up on the founders of ONC in it. Your old friend and boss Swift Barnes is even mentioned. [This message has been edited by bascall (edited 08-18-2009).] IP: Logged
