专家说明

The donor, Susanna Sharp (1690-1770), was the daughter of Benjamin and Susanna (née Cogswell) White of Brookline. Her husband, Captain Robert Sharp, bequeathed the tankard to her in his will dated 1 April 1763; it reads "I also give her... my Silver Tankard to be hers forever." Subsequently Susanna's will, dated 13 January 1768, records her gift, "My silver tankard after my Deceas I Give to the Church of Christ in Brookline." The Sharp family papers are preserved in the Brookline Public Library.
