Two Silver Cups Return to State House Ancestral heirlooms
Two ancient Pickman silver cups once owned by the Salem family have arrived at the State House. One cup, a 1749 gift from the province of Massachusetts Bay to Benjamin Pickman for Louisburg service, and a second from the New England Guards to Benjamin J. Pickman in 1819, are to be placed prominently. If unsuitable, the Essex Institute in Salem would likely care for them. No Pickman surname appears in the current Salem Directory.
