SILVERSMITH BIOGRAPHY

Two of this name appear in the apprentice records of the time. (1) Son of Thomas Spackman of Marlbourough in the County of Wiltshire, apprenticed to Roger Stephens 15 April 1668. Free, 1 September 1676. Livery, November 1687. (2) Son of Joseph Spackman (his cousin?) 7 April 1693. Freedom unrecorded. Mark entered as largeworker, undated, probably April 1697 on commencement of register. Address: Charing Cross. Heal records him as plateworker, Spreadeagle, Strand, 1694; and Charing Cross, 1697; also London, 1724. John, son of john and Elizabeth 'Spakeman', baptized 2 September 1684 at Christchurch, Newgate, was presumably a son. Elizabeth, daughter of John and Honor Spakeman, born 8 December, baptized 10 January 1714, at the same church, was presumably the latter's child. The relationship of the following members of the family is complicated. It appears that the Thomas mentioned above had also a son Thomas, as also did Joseph (above), so that there were two John and two Thomas Spackmans as well as William, the youngest son of Joseph, all members of the company at the same period. John (Junior) was elected to Livery, August 1720.
