Paul Revere

  General notes:

Silversmith

  Events in his life were:

• Apprenticed about 1773 to Paul Revere in Boston MA ¹

• Best known as maker of buckles and spoons. His limited production of silver may be the result of Revolutionary War which interrupted apprenticeship to his father. During this period he served under his father at Castle Island as a lieutenant. After the war he worked with the senior Revere in the silversmith business which included resale of foreign imports. In the 1796 Boston Directory he is listed with his father, REVERE & SON, and apparently used same marks as his father. Listed as a goldsmith in directories until 1807, ³

• Advertised in the Massachusetts Spy (Boston MA), May 1807, "Church bells of all sizes equal to any made in Europe, No. 13 Lynn St., North End, Boston."

• He was a partner from 1797 to 1818 with Paul Revere in Boston MA as PAUL REVERE & SON. ⁴

Paul married Sally Edwards on 25 Jul 1782 in Boston MA. (Sally Edwards was born on 13 Sep 1761 in Boston MA and died on 23 Aug 1808 in Boston MA.)
