Abstract: Daniel Van Voorhis, a silversmith, and his wife, Catherine Richards, were married in New York just before the Revolution. Like many patriots, they left the city during its occupation by the British army. Van Voorhis fought at the Battle of Princeton, where he was promoted to the command of his company by General Washington. He later became silversmith to the Continental Congress. After the war, when the British army had left the city, the couple returned to New York. There, they opened a gold, silver, and jewelry shop on Hanover Square in the East Ward in lower Manhattan (see Plate 1), and they lived above the store with their children, journeymen, and apprentices.
