From "New Jersey's Historic Houses", p. 139: Buccleuch Mansion (c. 1734), Buccleuch Park. This is a handsome three- story mansion in the Georgian style ... Also take note of the grandfather's clock, made in 1762 by a local clocksmith, Peter Luepp. The case was crafted by Matthew Egerton, a New Brunswick cabinetmaker. 1984 Supplement to Pass. and Imm. Lists Index: Peter Lupp, n.a., New Jersey 1770, 9010, p 88. [9010 is from Stevenson's "Persons Naturalized in New Jersey 1702 - 1776. This implies Peter Lupp was naturalized in 1770] From "The Silversmiths of New Jersey" by Carl M. Williams, 1949: Peter Lupp: working 1760-1807, died February 20, 1807, "in an advanced age" The records of the Reformed Dutch Church, in New Brunswick, contain the earliest mention of Peter Lupp as a resident of this place. On July 27, 1760, "Hendrick Lupp, son of Peter and Febey (Ogden)," was baptized by the Reverend Johannes Leydt. A deed dated August 8, 1770, conveyed to Peter "Lupe," of the City of New Brunswick, Middlesex County, land on the east side of Queen Street, adjoining property on which he then lived and owned. In a list headed "Proved Losses from the British in Somerset County, 1776-7," Peter Lupp, of New Brunswick, was entitled to a claim for £55.6.3. He had apparently moved into that part of the city then included within the bounds of Somerset County. These several facts clearly establish Peter Lupp as the first recorded silversmith known to work in New Brunswick. Samuel Allinson's compilation of the "Acts of the General Assembly of the Province of New Jersey,j" printed by Isaac Collins at Burlington in 1776, shows that by an act of assembly passed October 27, 1770, Peter Lupp became a naturalized citizen. In his will, dated May 12, 1802, Peter Lupp is called Clockmaker. None of his clocks have been seen by the writer, but some early mid-ribbed tablespoons (c. 1765), bearing two types of his mark have survived. They are from a set said t have been made for John Storey, of New Brunswick (d. 1785), and are valuable in positively identifying the P L mark, crude capitals in a rectangle, as a touch used by Peter Lupp. On another spoon from this set, he used his mark P. Lupp script in a rectangle. The latter mark is an abbreviated facsimile of Peter Lupp's signature. The inventory of the personal estate of Peter Lupp, late of the Township of Franklin, in the County of Somerset, and City of New Brunswick, dated March 30, 1807, taken by Henry Van Dike and Richard Lupardus, lists a "lot of Clockmaker tools &c &c," but neither clocks nor silver on hand for the trade. His personal plate comprised: "1 Silver pint, 1 Do. Cream Cup, 1 Peper box, 7 table Spoons, 1 pair Sleeve Buttons, 1 Sockbuckle - $34.31."
