A vein of silver may run deep within me. Somewhere far back in my mother's family I find Moultons of northeast Massachusetts, possibly the famed silversmiths. I have some checking to do. More tangibly, my parents both worked for, and in fact met at, the venerable Boston jewelers, Smith, Patterson & Co. They went to work there in 1938. My father left to serve in the Army during WWII and returned to them after the war at which point my mother left to assume domestic duties. I have Smith, Patterson variously located on Washington or Summer Streets in Boston, though I haven't traced them yet in city directories. In the mid 1950s the Boston department store Jordan, Marsh & Co (now Macy's) bought out Smith Patterson and gradually absorbed them into their jewelry department. During one of those last steps my father handed in his notice and left the jewelry business. A surviving business card of my father's lists him as in the watch department. He appears to have also had much experience selling silver. He later gave me all his silver selling booklets, the type that told salespersons how to talk the customers into oyster forks and cream soup spoons in their sterling pattern. He saw that I'd held onto them and made some remark that he'd just meant me to look at them and then dispose of them. To my great present distress I followed my father's admonition and threw them out. Perhaps seeing them brought up sad memories for him over a job he had to leave.

During my mother's stay there an elderly woman brought in her sterling to sell. Smith, Patterson gave her the then-going rate for silver scrap, $1 place setting, plus serving, etc. My mother was able to purchase the pieces for the same amount, added to them with her employee discount, and thus acquired her wedding silver, the popular Dominick & Haff pattern, Pointed Antique. This silver saw nightly service on our dinner table well into the 1970s before less formal dining took hold in our house. My father made some small harmonizing serving pieces out of coin silver, hammering them into shape by hand. I can place myself at the silver counter of Boston jewelers Shreve, Crump & Low by age 16 buying additional pieces for my mother as Christmas presents. Regrettably, this family silver appears lost. After my mother's death in 1999 I gave it to my elder brother in trust for his daughter. At the time I was helping him carry his belongings out of the house when it was finally sold; I didn't find any carton heavy enough to have held the silver chest. I believe he sold it to satisfy debts. I've spent the past year or so replicating the set on e-bay and am enjoying the quest to locate unusual place and serving pieces. Thankfully, I'd retained a plated carving set of no particular interest which had the engraved initials of my parents on it, supposedly a custom design of whoever had been the chief engraver for Shreve's in the early 1940s at the time my mother purchased the set. Perhaps someday I'll have my pieces engraved to that design.

I have other silver interests as well and hope to post on them soon.

Hello Don!

Welcome to the forums.

Your family history is fascinating, and at the same time sad. I know how you feel having experienced similar circumstances.

The D&H silver set, did that have monograms as well, and what were they?

Thanks for the response!

I didn't make the point clear at the end of the post but the plated carving set bears the same engraving as was on all the sterling D&H pieces: A large script M flanked by smaller but still capital H's. My parents' names were Hugh and Harriette.

The way I look at it the replica set has already gone so far beyond what my mother had in number and types of pieces that it wouldn't precisely be her set anyway, though I'd still like to have had her silver. The little serving pieces my father made represent the real loss.

Many thanks, I'll have to work it through from my known antecedents using the family genealogy. One of my male Stone ancestors married a woman whose maiden name was Moulton and her mother had been a Tilton, or it may have been the other way around, Tilton to Moulton (all from northeast Massachusetts). I'll e-mail my cousin who has the family copy of the Stone genealogy and see if she can trace it and report it back here briefly.

There was a fairly important silver buckle maker in England with the same name, Samuel Moulton. He was apprenticed to Edward Cooke in 1764, but turned over to Samuel Cooke (who was a member of the Musicians Guild but may have been another silver buckle maker) the same day. He finished his apprenticeship with another buckle maker William Harrison in 1773. Worked in Southwark (south side of the Thames so not in the city of London). Certainly still active in 1791 (his signature is on the petion of the buckle trade to the Prince of Wales ,later George IV ). Heal records him as Southwark 1777 - 1796.

Any connection ?

What an intriguing tangent!

My 8th great-grandfather Simon Stone and his brother Gregory emigrated from Great Bromley, Essex in 1634. Most of the people with whom they intermarried for the next century or so seem to have had similar backgrounds, i.e., they left England before the middle of the 17th century. I believe this is the case with the Moultons from Massachusetts. A possible connection between the Towle Silver Moultons from Massachusetts and an 18th century London buckle maker opens a tantalizing line of research.

Good Gosh!

Simon Stone
Simon Stone
Matthew Stone
Adams Stone
Isaac Stone
Israel Stone
Andrew Jackson Stone
Harriet Stone, my great-grandmother

So yes indeed, I'm descended from the collateral branch of the Moultons--and not a piece of Towle silver to my name!

Talk about designer genes!
I was aware of the art/architecture/building/engineering component of my family, the wheat amongst much, much, chaff, but this all, especially Tiffany, comes as quite a surprise.
My fictive Museum of American Silver has just had to grow considerably.

I'm also descended from the Howland family of Plymouth (actually from Arthur) not John who was the Mayflower passenger. John's descendants include a string of 18th Century John and Jabez Gorhams.

Am I thinking that there is another bunch of silver people in my family?

Kimball21,

This is a very interesting thread. I have some Stone ancestors, and I recently was sent a history of Stones in Eden, Vermont where my father grew up, but those Stones moved up to Vermont in the early 1800s from a different part of Massachusetts from the Northeast. However, there could be a link between us.

I once had a friend who was a Kimball and he told me that all Kimballs in America are descended from one Kimball who came here from England in the 1600s.

I'll dig back into that story of the Stones to see if there might be a connection.
