  General notes:

Pewtersmith

  Events in his life were:

• He was a partner in 1767-1769 with Samuel Hamlin in Hartford CT
  It is unlikely that Henshaw was a pewtersmith. It is now thought that he provided his name (as a well-known general merchant) and possibly capital to Hamlin, who was his next-door neighbor in Middletown.
