She was evidently a daughter of Joseph Vickers and Sarah Walker, of New Brunswick and Piscataway, respectively, who were married in 1753 (N.J. Arch., 22:426). This record and that of her brother Thomas Leonard Vickers (1758-1792) are both in the Rutgers University Library. Henry and Mary Lupp and several of their children, as also Mary's parents and other members of the Vickers family, are buried in Christ Church cemetery, New Brunswick. Henry Lupp and others of the family were noted silversmiths. These records are from a Bible printed in London, "by Mark Baskett, Printer to the King's most Excellent Majesty; and by the Assigns of Robert Baskett," 1763. Only the New Testament title-page and the page bearing the records have been preserved.

See N.J. Hist. Soc. Proceedings, N.S., 12:79. From "The Silversmiths of New Jersey" by Carl M. Williams, 1949: Henry Lupp: working 1783-1800, born July 16, 1760, died November 26, 1800. Henry Lupp ranks with the principal silversmiths who worked during the era of the Early Republic, when the classic or urn-shaped designs of Robert Adam where introduced in America. Unlike many of the early members of this trade, Lupp's entire career was associated with the place of his birth. He had no cause to search for greener fields; in New Brunswick he was in the midst of a rich agricultural region inhabited by prosperous English, Dutch, and German families. There was a demand for the better type of household equipment and although craftsmen were attracted from the outside, the firmly established Lupp family of silversmiths had little to fear from competitors. While several other members of the Lupp family were associated with one another in business from time to time, Henry conducted his shop independently of his relatives. On October 16, 1788, he was married to Mary Vickers, of a local English family, and left the old Reformed Dutch Church. He was one of the committee organized to have this church rebuilt after it had been partly destroyed during the Revolution. A large amount of hollow ware and spoons was produced by Henry Lupp. The Rynier Veghte silver illustrates the ingenuity of this craftsman. The composition of the Veghte cream pot seems to have been a design of his own creation. Rather than use the conventional helmut style creamer as a companion for the sugar urn, he brought forth a pattern closely harmonious with the contour of that piece, even to the pierced gallery. This cream pot is not believed to have been copied by other silversmiths. A nice detail of the sugar bowl is its turned wooden finial, probably a fortunate substitution used in the absence of the usual silver urn or pineapple knob. Henry Lupp is known to have used at least four types of mark. The soup ladle ties in two varieties. It bears an almost microscopic touch of H L capitals in a rectangle, and H L script in a larger rectangle. The beaker engraved with the inscription N. BRUNSWICK DUtCH CHURCH, is owned by the First Reformed Church in New Brunswick, and is marked H Lupp script in a rectangle. The sugar urn which was made for Rynier Veghte, of Somerville, exhibits the latter touch with the additional mark of N.Brunswick in a shaped rectangle. Henry Lupp's capabilities seem to have been unlimited. In all probability he actually made all the wide variety of silver articles listed in the advertisement which appeared at the start of his business, and fifteen years later, on September 25, 1798, an announcement in The Guardian, or New-Brunswick Advertiser, shows that this ambitious silversmith had taken on the profession of dentist. The "Artificial Teeth" which he was prepared to set were of his own manufacture. In making his initial bow to the residents of New Brunswick for their patronage, Henry Lupp chose a newspaper which is now a scarce document. His advertisement is on page one, of volume one, and number one of The Political Intelligencer and New-Jersey Advertiser for Tuesday, October 14, 1783. The imprint of this newspaper is "New-Brunswick: Printed by Kollock And Arnett, At the Barracks." HENRY LUPP, GOLD AND SILVER-SMITH, IN NEW-BRUNSWICK, makes and sells the following articles, in the modern and ancient mode: SILVER TANKARDS, coffee and tea-pots, sugar pots and urns, cream pots and urns, pint and half pint cans, waiters, soup and punch ladles, sauce-boats and ladles, table, pap, desert and tea spoons, shoe, knee and stock buckles, thimbles, sleeve-buttons, &c. &c. &c. JEWELLERY Stone stock and knee buckles, locket buttons, gold lockets and buttons, ladies handkercheif slides, bosom pins, plain and garnet gold broaches, a great variety of gold rings, garnet ear-rings together with other things as usual N.B. Hair-work laid in the neatest manner. October 13, 1783 From "The Silversmiths of New Jersey" by Carl M. Williams, 1949: Samuel Vickers Lupp: working 1809, born August 22, 1789, died November 2, 1809. Samuel Vickers Lupp, the eldest son of Henry and Mary (Vickers) Lupp, was eleven when his father died, and is believed to have been taught the silversmith's trade by his grandfather, Peter Lupp. Samuel was not of age when he died, and there is no indication that he had a shop. More likely he took over his grandfather's business, but there is proof that he used his own mark. Several spoons have been found in the New Brunswick neighborhood which are impressed with the silversmith's touch of S. V. Lupp capitals in rectangle.
