in the directory as Lombard street, subsequently as Lumber street 

 until about 1836 when it became Trinity place. No record has 

 been found to indicate that Daniel Johnson at 24 Lumber street 

 (1800) was also carrying on a pottery and it is quite possible that 

 these jars were made for his use with his business address stamped 

 upon them, though this would certainly be a very unusual procedure 

 for a potter. 



It will be of use for future examination of this subject of early 

 potting in New York to record that in 1850 there were the following 

 stone and red ware factories at work in this State exclusive of any 

 mentioned above: 



M. W. Bender, Westerlo and Dallius st., Albany 



Porter and Fraser, West Troy 



William E. Warner, West Troy 



J."and W. C. Hart, Sherburne 



J. B. Caire & Co., Poughkeepsie 



Dennis McLees, Navy St., Brooklyn 



C. Cartlidge and Co., Greenpoint 



Frederick Stetzmayer, 160 South Sophia st., Rochester 

 Hudson River Pottery, Edward Roche, Foot of 12th st., North 

 river, New York 



Salamander Works, 54 Cannon st., New York 

 James Kinsey, 57 Great Ijones st., New York 

 Washington Smith, 26ijWest 18th st ., New York 

 Samuel Hart, Volney 

 John Harrison, Stillwater 

 Henry Lewis, Huntington 

 Austin and Thomas Hempstead, Greenport 

 William Brandinon & Co., Ellenville 



D. R. Weston, Ellenville 

 Holmes & Purdy, Dundee 



The Porter & Fraser pottery at West Troy was established in 

 183 1 by Sanford S. Perry and located at Washington and Schenec- 

 tady streets, now 1st avenue and 13th street, Watervliet. Robert 

 H. Fraser was succeeded in this firm in 1846 by his brother George 

 B. Fraser who, we have already noticed, came from the Clark 

 establishment at Athens. 



According to Dr E. A. Barber (Marks of American Potters) the 

 Salamander Works were established in New York city about 1848 

 and probably continued in operation until the breaking out of 

 the Civil War. Its products, jugs, milk pans and other household 

 ware, are known though rare, but the source of its clays is not a 

 matter of record.
