BERNARD HANLEN.


Nov. 3, 1778.


1 The existence of this pottery has been totally neglected by every con- tributor to the published histories of the city of Trenton or by those who have recorded the progress of the potters' art in America. Bernard Hanlon resided in the portion of Trenton later known as Millham, and now a part of the city. His grist mill was located upon the Assanpink creek, near his home. This is now the center of the pottery interests of Trenton, and it is probable that the pottery was located near the grist mill. Until the discovery of the advertisement, it has been assumed that the first pottery in Trenton was that established by McCully, near the site of the present Battle Monument.
