Three sons, Henry (worked in New York City and Albany, 1763-1793), Philip (New York City and Philadelphia, 1763-1787), and William (worked in Philadelphia, 1764-1798), were also pewterers. Attribution based on similarities to marked John Will three-legged cream pots and the possible touchmark (see tankard 1986.0027.15).
