General Notes

Note

Notes: Letter in file reads: This turkey platter was dug up by my grandfather John William Roberson after the war between the states at his home 22 Wall Street. He said his family did not bury it. It was probably buried during the Revolutionary War. It is chinese pottery. The duplicate of this plate is on exhibition in the Pringle house down King Street. I would like to see it preserved. Given perhaps to the Russell House. Susie E. Roberson. Black & White Photograph in file. Status: OK Location Details1: 1
