In a document dkconsulateusvi.com/Inhabitants/Inhabitants07052002.pdf entitled: A list of the names of INHABITANTS The Danish Westindian Islands (The VIRGIN ISLANDS) from 1650 - ca. 1825 Compiled by HUGO RYBERG (Genealog) of COPENHAGEN (Denmark) from the sources in The Royal Danish State Archive in COPENHAGEN (Denmark) Editor: Mrs. RIGMOR de VICQ of COPENHAGEN (Denmark) 1945 They mention two silversmiths:

No luck yet on Coulougnac, but Bøje's "Danske Guld og Sølvsmedemaerker" has a Johan Henrik Brøndlund who received a trade licencse to work as a silversmith in Copenhagen on 14 Oct 1765 and died in 1773 in St. Croix. I suspect Joh. Jac. Brøndlund must've been his son or other relation. I note, too, that the document you reference lists a third silversmith: Peter Bentzon, husband of Rachel Motte. A free man of color educated in Phildelphia, he is generally considered to be this first African-American silversmith whose mark is known. He worked for over forty years in both St. Croix and Philadelphia. IP: Logged |
