  General notes:

Example

  Events in his life were:

• Teapot by Jacob Hurd, 1730-1735
  Museum of Fine Arts, Boston ¹⁰
  h: 5"
  d: 3 3/16" (base)
  wt: 13 oz, 9 dwt
  The teapot appears on a list of plate taken October 1st, 1785, belonging to Ebenezer Storer, Jr.: "a Tea Pott Jacob Hurd 12 oz Sturgis arms." The discrepancy in weight is explained by the fact that the wooden handle is included in our weight. On the list there were also spoons engraved HQ and others with "The Crest of Quincy" indicating that the teapot belonged to Josiah (1709-1784) and Hannah (Sturgis) Quincy. Ebenezer's second wife, whom he married in 1777, was their daughter, the widow Hannah (Quincy) Lincoln. The youngest of his children by this second marriage was Susanna, who married Rev. Asa Eaton (1778-1858), Minister of Christ Church, Boston from 1803 to 1829. They were grandparents of William S. and his sister Georgiana G. Eaton. The cartouche is the same design that Hurd used on the Townsend-Mason teapot (Yale University Art Gallery, Garvan Collection), dated 1738.
