Notes
This coin silver teaspoon belonged to Patrick Henry's son, Edward Winston Henry Sr. (1794–1872). Edward built and lived at Windstone, located east of Red Hill, which was originally part of Patrick Henry's Red Hill estate.
The design and maker's mark on the spoon indicate a date consistent with original ownership by Edward Henry Sr. The mark of "Nowlan & Young" was used from 1853 to 1854. James T. Young (1825–1892) was a jeweler and watchmaker in Petersburg, Virginia. He began his short-lived partnership with Thomas Nowland in 1853, which quickly dissolved the following year.
The spoon passed from Edward Winston Henry, Sr., to his daughter Maria Rosalie Henry Lewis (1818–1898), and then to Maria's son, Edward Winston Henry Lewis (1849–1910). It came into the possession of Corinne Henry Lewis (1882–1948), daughter of Edward Winston Henry Lewis. Finally, Corinne Lewis Shipp Starke (1910–2010), daughter of Corinne Henry Lewis, inherited the spoon from her mother.
Corinne Lewis Shipp Starke donated the spoon to the Patrick Henry Memorial Foundation on August 21, 2008.
