About Jeremiah Dummer

First American born silversmith. Hull had an apprentice, Jeremiah Dummer (1645-1718), an excellent silversmith who subsequently became as successful as his former master, holding the positions of County Treasurer, Judge, Selectman, etc. in the customary manner of silversmiths.
