Henry Luepp was the only son of Peter Lupp and Phoebe Ogden. He was born on July 16, 1760 and christened July 27, 1760 in New Brunswick, Middlesex , New Jersey.
Henry Luepp married Mary Vickers (daughter of Joseph Vickers and Sarah Walker) on August 16, 1788. She was born August 12, 1761.
Henry Luepp's family records in the family Bible are published in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, Vol. 34, p. 93.
The spelling "Leupp" in this memorial reflects the spelling in the church records pertaining to his interment in the church cemetery. Nevertheless, it is likely that he spelled it "Lupp" during his lifetime. It was his nephew, Charles Mortimer Leupp who convinced all the children to change the spelling of their name to Leupp. Thus, it appears that the spelling in the church records after his death was influenced by Charles and the other cousins.
It is apparent that the period 1820-1835 was a transition period where members of the extended Lupp family started adopting the "Leupp" spelling.
Given the probability that he spelled his surname as "Lupp" during his lifetime, however, another memorial for Henry Lupp has been created here in order to avoid confusion by future researchers as well as make it easier to find him in the Find A Grave database.
Henry Luepp had a significant reputation as a silversmith. The Silversmiths of New Jersey by Carl M. Williams states the following (carriage returns are added for ease of reading):
"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.
