Stamped "S.PUGH," one of the six chairs may have been made by a Samuel Pugh working in Bucks County. The census records for early nineteenth-century Eastern Pennsylvania include at least two men by that name, one of whom is listed in 1810 as working in the Richland Township of Bucks County. Another windsor chair with what appears to be the same stamp is in the collection of the Bucks County Historical Society (Winterthur Library: Decorative Arts Photographic Collection, 78.1267).
