[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 175422, member: 59"]Hi Jake! First let me say that I have no idea if any of what I found on Ancestry is the same person, but I found records for a Jeremiah Wickliffe Thayer, born to Henry Barstow Thayer in 1853 in South Carolina and owning property in the 1870's and 80's in Baker, Georgia. He appears to have died in 1888 at the age of only 35. There were lots of other Jeremiah Thayers in other states and with earlier dates, but none were identified with the middle name Wickliffe. And I didn't bother focusing on Great Britain because of their longstanding mandatory marking rules. The style of the cup doesn't speak to me as of a particular period or place, although that handle style has had a long period of use and popularity. I wonder if this might have been an older cup re-used at a later date?[/QUOTE]
