Esther Amelia was born 30 March 1902 Middlefield. She married Chester Daniel Phipps 30 Sep 1922 Portland, CT. Esther Amelia is still living and is 99 years old.

The following material is submitted by Karen Mason
to add missing information regarding the family of
Jedediah Tryon 5.88f and Belinda Jones Tryon that
deals with Elizabeth Ann Tryon

From Wes Tryon's book her number would be 6.169f. She was the daughter of Jedediah Tryon 5.88f and Belinda Jones Tryon.

Wes Tryon's work shows that Elizabeth Ann Tryon 6.169, married Elam Hervey Rogers. The dates are all correct but the fact that they had no children is incorrect. They actually had 9 children. The names and dates are:

Database: Danbury, Connecticut: Town History, 1684-1896

This company was organized in 1886 with a capital of $10,000. In 1888 the factory
was destroyed by fire, and soon after the company bought the site where stands their
present factory. The business has developed very rapidly of late, until there is now
$100,000 invested in it, with over two hundred employés, and branch offices in New
York City , Chicago , St. Louis , and San Francisco . The President of the company is
N. Burton Rogers . The Danbury Medical Printing Company was organized in 1890
under the laws of the State of Connecticut . Its beginning was the New England
Medical Monthly, a publication started in 1881 at Sandy Hook, Conn. , with Dr. W. C.
Wile as editor and proprietor. In 1886 Dr. Wile was called to a medical professorship
in Philadelphia , where he remained a year. He then came to Danbury and
commenced here the publication of the New England Monthly in a barn. To-day it has
a fine three-storied brick building on Foster Street, all its own and filled with modern
machinery. It is capitalized for $100,000, and has forty employés. It now publishes
the New England Medical Monthly, the Prescription, and the Drug Reporter. Its
President and Treasurer is W. C. Wile . During the year 1891 a few of the business
men of Danbury became interested in certain inventions of machines and processes
for the manufacture of twist drills, which led to the organization of the T. & B. Tool
Company. This company acquired control of these inventions, and after a systematic
study of the methods of manufacture of this product undertook to design a complete
equipment of special machinery for this purpose. These machines were built for the
company and installed in one of the buildings of the Tweedy Manufacturing Company
on River Street, where there are now employed about seventy operatives, producing
about ten thousand twist drills of various sizes per week, besides a variety of other
tools for metal working. The consumption of these tools by manufacturers and
builders of machinery and iron works of all classes is large, while their manufacture is
carried on principally by some eight concerns, who not only supply the drills which
are used in this country, but have a large export trade, as outside of the United
States their production is very limited. The system of manufacture employed by this
company is unique and original, and believed to possess important advantages over
those of other manufacturers. This is an up-to-date industry, doing all kinds of model
and experimental work, and designs and builds entire any kind of special sewing
machine used in hatting or any other business. This is another thriving industry. It fits
out hat factories with all latest improved machinery, imports and deals in hatters'
supplies and general merchandise, and makes a specialty of wood blocks and flanges.
It has branches in England , France , Vienna , Barcelona , Rio de Janeiro , and
Melbourne . The architects of Danbury are Foster Brothers, W. W. Sunderland , F. C.
Olmstead , E. W. Gilbert , and the Danbury Building Company. There are fifteen firms
of carpenters and builders, nine carriage manufacturers, five manufacturers of
harness and leather goods, three soda-water manufacturers, and ten manufacturers
of cigars. All the various lines of business that are to be found in any city of its size
are here in Danbury . The average increase of all branches may be suggested by the
fact that where a century ago James Seil was the "only barber," and in 1840 Homer
Peters filled the same position, to-day the list of barbers in Danbury numbers twenty-
seven. As the town and its business grew, the demand for a better means of
transportation began to make itself felt. There are in every age and every community,

fortunately, progressive spirits who are always restless because they are always
looking for something better than what is already possessed. Danbury was blessed
with this element, and those who composed it chafed under the limitations of the
stage coach and the slow plodding road wagons. In 1825 , when the Erie Canal
project was being agitated, public attention throughout the country was directed to
the subject of inside water communication, and the agitation reached Danbury ,
being drawn here by the progressive spirits of that day. It was proposed to run a
canal from Danbury to tide-water at Westport . Even a survey was made, the line
following near to that of the present railroad as far down as Redding , where it
crossed over to the Saugatuck Valley and thence to Westport . It was proposed to
use Neversink Pond as a feeder to the canal. The levels taken showed the Main Street
at the Wooster House to be three hundred and seventy-five feet above tide-water,
and Neversink to be twenty feet above Main Street. Much was said and done about
the canal project, but it was finally deemed to be inexpedient because of the heavy
locking that would be necessary, and was abandoned.

Our "Ask Reni" section has been swamped with questions about "American Silver". So, to answer all the
questions that were received we have decided to have Reni write a very informative article for you on
the subject as follows:
American's manufacturing history in silver, pewter, Britannia and electroplated wares coincides with the
rise of the Industrial revolution and methods of mass production. Centered in New England, places
such as Meriden and Wallingford, Connecticut became as famous to a world of wholesalers and
retailers as Birmingham, England.
In 1810, the single silver-smith could still be found in local advertisements. Commissions in hand
wrought items were directed to the wealthy and elite. By 1910, hugh conglomerates made up of
partnerships and previously independent companies existed to make silver and silver plate available to
everyone.
The desire to adorn ones home and table with the look of solid silver (without the expense) was
present in the 18th century. In 1742, and Englishman named Thomas Boulshover accidentally fused
silver to copper while trying to mend a knife blade. Manufacturers in Sheffield took over the method of
heating thin sheets of silver, front and back, to thicker center cores of copper. These fused "sheets" could be rolled out and formed into fancy hollow ware trays, urns, candelabrum, etc. Sterling was
decoratively applied to the exposed copper edges. These "old Sheffield" pieces satisfied the emerging
middle classes in England and America for nearly a hundred years, and are sought after by today's
collectors.
Electroplating was invented by John Wright, a medical student, and also an Englishman. The first
patent was issued to G.R. and H. Elkington in 1840. Oxide of silver was dissolved in a bath of cyanide
of potassium and reformed onto the surface of copper or other base metals with the use of a galvanic
current.
John O. Mead, a Britannia manufacturer from Philadelphia helped perfect the electroplating process in
America. His association with pioneering Rogers brothers is not officially documented, but there is a

connection.
The Rogers name spans the rest of the 19th century. William, the eldest brother, left the family farm
and became a partner with Joseph Church (jeweler and silversmith in Hartford, Conn.) in 1825. By
1835, Asa Jr. and Simeon had both joined the firm. Asa Jr. started experimenting with electroplating in
the early 1840's. In 1847, the first Rogers Brothers trademark was stamped on their silver plate spoons.
The Rogers name became so important in the business that many affiliations would form companies to
use the Rogers name. Some were related by family ties and some just lucky enough to have the same
name. The F.B. Rogers Silver Co. was incorporated in 1886, in Taunton Massachusetts. This company
worked well into the 20th century, and became a division of the National Silver Company in 1955.
In 1862, the Meriden Britannia Company purchased the Rogers Brothers Manufacturing Company,
including their tools, dies and trademark. Many other small companies in the area realized the benefits
of banding together to better supply the growing public demand. The International Silver Company was
incorporated in 1898. Along with the 1847 Rogers Bros. trademark, the Meriden Britannia Company led
the way. Soon, over forty firms would join, often retaining their own trademarks under the I.S. Co.
umbrella. Some of these names include the American Silver Co., Barbour Silver Co., Forbes Silver Co.,
Holmes & Edwards Silver Co., Manhattan Silver Plate Co., Meriden Silver Plate Co., Simpson, Hall, Miller
& Co., C. Rogers & Bros., Rogers & Hamilton Co., Rogers, Smith & Co., Watrous Mfg. Co., Webster Mfg.
Co., Wilcox Silver Plate Co, Wilcox & Everster, and the William Rogers Mfg. Co.
The International Silver Co. reached its height in production by the World War II years. We are now
the generations inheriting these lovely decorative artifacts.
Silver plate (in good condition) from the second half of the 19th century has the higher values.
Victorian era Epergnes with cupids holding "sweet meat" dishes, fancy footed butler trays, coffee urns
and tea sets in revival styles with sculptural finials and pairs of six-armed candelabrum may appraise
out between $500 and $1,000, occasionally higher. Crossover values would attach to items
commissioned by railroads, ships, famous hotels or people. Novelties, inkwells, figural napkin rings,
dance card holders, etc. are collectible in their own categories. 20th century silver plate is common. A
complete tea set from the 1940's or 50's can usually be purchased for under $200. A single pot,
creamer, covered butter or vegetable dish will run well under $50 in the secondary market.
The question of resilvering is a "gray" area. Collectors of antique silver plate often prefer the darkened
look of the base metal showing through. In our home, grandma's 1940's water tankard looks a lot
better with its shiny new coat and holly branches at holiday time.
Thanks for all your questions and pictures.
