Simeon Soumaine

Simeon Soumaine (before June 10, 1685 – c. 1750) was a noted Huguenot-American silversmith, active in New York City.

Another apprentice, Elias Pelletreau (1726–1810), served under Soumaine from January 12, 1741, for seven years.

In New York City, Soumaine married Susanna Bourdett and is documented to have owned at least one slave.

During the "Negro Plot of 1741," his slave, Tom, informed authorities that conspirators had asked him to procure swords from Soumaine's shop.

Additionally, in 1743, Soumaine advertised the theft of a pepper box.
