Thanks! this report reflects the substantial work efforts of a number of people over the last four years. It demonstrates what cooperatve sharing of research information can lead to. This report will change as additional information is acquired (e.g. we are currently researching the relationships between the Gardner/Duncan and Orrison families in furthering an understanding the pottery and other familial business partnerships in the early 19th century).
