A Couple of Bits of info for your comment
« on: January 17, 2012, 06:21:36 AM »
Here are a couple of pieces of information from Jim Whisker who would like your comments about then.

First

There is considerable confusion about Andrew Figthorn and who died when. I'd be interested in comments. Here is one fact to begin:


Quote
There was a death notice for Andrew Fichthorn, gunsmith of Reading [Berks and Schuylkill Journal, 28 September 1822]


Second
Quote
The notation is obviously from the Philadelphia Inquirer. I'd like to see comments.


Quote
Moll, Henry S. (1796-). gunsmith. Allentown. Noted as being age 77, the oldest gunsmith in Allentown, and having used the same shop for over 50 years [Philadelphia Inquirer, 30 September 1873]. Precisely which Moll is meant here is hard to say, although the year of birth matches John Moll III.
