Frederick Marquand (1799-1882) worked as a silversmith and retailer in Savannah c.1820-1825 in partnership with his cousin, Josiah Penfield as J. Penfield & Co. In 1826 he relocated to New York City, where he continued his trade along with various family members until 1839. A huge amount of silver bearing his mark is still extant. Telfair Museums' silver collection currently holds 93 individual pieces of silver with Marquand's mark.
