Vince,
Dr.Seagrave might look at Jonathan Prown's article A Cultural
Analysis of Furniture-Making in Petersburg,Virginia,1760-1820. Appendix
A has a list of Petersburg furniture makers.The article is in the
Journal of Early Southern Decorative Arts, Vol.XVIII, Number 1,May 1992.
The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts as an online database
http://72.236.25.181/ Hope this helps.
Chris

Kolbe,
I don't know if you're on VA-HIST or not, but this started a thread on
Petersburg artisans. I thought you might be interested.

Performers, Coopers, Coppersmiths, Wigmakers, Shipwrights, Tinsmiths,
Potters, Writers & Printers, etc. Photos of work, work & grave sites;
