The monogram on the handle is that of Margaret Platt (1728-1791), first child of Uriah Platt (1707-1762) and his wife Mary Smith (b. 1709) of Hempstead, Long Island. She married Judge Isaac Smith (1722-1795), also of Hempstead, Long Island, on 2 January 1744. The couple relocated to Duchess County, NY in 1757 and had eleven children.
