Whether or not he turned Tory in 1779—and there is one accusation on record to that effect—he was back in Williamsburg soon after the defeat of Cornwallis, and remained a resident of the town for another 30 years. In 1804 he was appointed town surveyor, thereby capping a career that for versatility was matched by its virility. The widower Bucktrout must have been about 60 years old when, in 1797, he took to wife a young girl by the name of Mary Bruce. Before his death in 1812 she bore him four children, the second receiving the name Horatio. A century and a quarter later—in 1928—another Horatio Bucktrout sold the family undertaking establishment and thus brought to an end the Bucktrout saga in Williamsburg. The story of cabinetmaking as an active eighteenth-century craft in Williamsburg had ended long before, of course. _WILLIAMSBURG CABINETMAKERS_ In addition to Benjamin Bucktrout, Edmund Dickinson, Anthony Hay, and Peter Scott—all of whom have been discussed at some length in the preceding pages—the following are believed to complete the list of known Williamsburg cabinetmakers in the eighteenth century. _Richard Booker._ A cabinetmaker in Williamsburg in 1773, and for three or fours years thereafter, and again or still in 1792. The records are full of men by that name, and their identities are difficult to sort out. _John Crump._ Was associated in 1775 with Richard Booker, in what capacity is not known. _Richard Harrocks._ Had a shop in 1776 and 1777, part of the time in partnership with James Honey. _James Honey_ (died 1787). Was a house joiner rather than cabinetmaker, but was briefly in the cabinetmaking business with Richard Harrocks. _William Kennedy._ In 1769 was briefly a partner of Bucktrout; then had his own business in the Pelham shop on Francis Street, but his activities there are unknown. _Matthew Moody, Jr._ Had cabinetmaking business around 1764 or 1765 and later was a carpenter. _John Ormeston._ Was in Williamsburg from 1763 to 1766; may have been a cabinetmaker or a riding-chair maker or both. _Thomas Orton_ (died 1778). His name appears in the records once with the word cabinetmaker appended to it. _James Spiers._ Coachmaker, cabinetmaker, upholsterer from 1744 to about 1755; his shop may have been near that of Scott. _SUGGESTED READINGS_
