  General notes:

Silversmith

  Events in his life were:

  • Advertised on 30 Sep 1790 (Norwich CT),
    The subscriber has lately opened a SHOP opposite Capt Jabez Perkins Store at Norwich Landing; where he carries on the CLOCK and WATCH making GOLDSMITH and JEWELLER'S business; those who please to favour him with their custom may depend on the strictest attention and dispatch by their humble servant.
    ERASTUS TRACY.
    Norwich Landing.
    Sept 30 1790.
    3
  • Probably moved to New London after death of his brother Gurdon, and possibly took over his shop. A newspaper notice on Aug. 17, 1796 read, "Erastus Tracy, formerly of Norwich, aged 26 years, of consumption." Either his birth date or his age was wrongly reported. 3
