REVOLUTIONARY WAR VETERAN
James was a tinsmith trained in Berlin, CT and he ran a successful business with Josiah Cowles in Marion, CT (circa 1773-1837). They closed the business during the Revolution due to lack of tinplate which had to be imported from England. James married his partner daughter and their sons Asahel and James Salmon also worked in the tin business. Much of the tinware from James' shop was decorated with floral designs often painted against a white ground. For additional information on James and his business, see American Painted Tinware, A Guide To Its Identification Vol. 1 by Martin & Tucker.
