Abstract:
In 1975, researchers at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts located silver engraved with the initials I.M., but the silversmith’s identity and history were unknown. Further research suggested that the silversmith might be James Murphree of Norfolk, Virginia. Murphree’s work was evident in silver descending in the Coffield family of Chowan County, North Carolina.
