Samuel Minott

Samuel Minott (December 22, 1732 - October 17, 1803) was an American silversmith and retailer, active in Boston.

Minott was born in Concord, Massachusetts and probably apprenticed about 1745 to William Homes in Boston.

On October 1, 1772, in The Boston Weekly News-Letter, he advertised assorted groceries and pottery "at his Shop opposite William's Court, Cornhill", and was "the Goldsmiths Business in all its Branches as usual at his other Shop Northward of the Draw Bridge."

His wares included tea, delft, silver-mounted swords, coral beads, plate and jewelry.

In 1776, he was arrested as a Tory by order of the Common Council, but apparently released as his work and residence continued in Boston.
