The following information is interesting - and because of the detail should likely go into the notes section - but first, the references are all short citations. Is there more information: title of ad or article, page number, etc.:
Among the goods imported and/or sold through Apthorp on Merchants Row in Boston were "choice madera wines, ... a parcel of Russia duck and several sorts of European goods"; [1] "British duck of all sorts"; [2] "choice good sea coal, ... several second hand cables, little the worse for wear, and anchors suitable, with window glass of most sorts, and a parcel of lead and shot"; [3] "a good new still and worm of about 600 gallons"; [4] salt; [5] "a parcel of guns, 4-pounders, with carriages and shott, also a parcel of swivel-guns with shott suitable;" [6] a "well fitted" 50-ton sloop"; [7] and "a brigantine about 90 tuns, and three years old, now lying at the Long Wharfe". [8]
Incomplete citation information makes it difficult to determine the WP:Verifiability of the sources. See also Template:Full citation, which applies to each citation here. Does anyone have 1) more complete citation information - or - 2) even better, a reliable, verifiable source with a good summary of the goods he transported?-- CaroleHenson ( talk) 18:41, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
The "still and worm" mentioned above are apparently related. I do not, however, know of a major use of a gear and worm in distillation. Is it possible that "worm" refers instead to what we now commonly call a "condenser". AJim ( talk) 10:20, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
I believe Harvard University has an historic house, Apthorp House, which is located in the center court of the Adams House residence. I was told it was built by East Apthorp, who is probably the same person as the father of Charles. Something about East and this house might make another article.
