(1785 -1844) |
Christian Gobrecht was
born in Hanover, Pennsylvania, on December 23, 1785, the second son of the
Reverend John C. Gobrecht who had come to America in 1755 from Hessen,
Germany. Gobrecht's mother, Elizabeth Sands, traced her lineage to Plymouth
colony as far back as 1642. He married Mary Hamilton Hewes on May 31, 1818.
After serving an apprenticeship in Manheim, Pennsylvania, he became an
engraver of ornamental clock works in Baltimore, later moving to Philadelphia
in 1811, joining the banknote engraving firm of Murray, Draper, Fairman, and
Company, circa 1816. In 1817, Gobrecht made improvements to his 1810
invention of a medal-ruling machine by which a three-dimensional medal or
bas-relief object could be converted to a two-dimensional illustration for
use in a publication using a linear process. In 1824, he prepared dies for
the Franklin Institute medal of the same date, signed GOBRECHT F. below the
bust of Franklin. |
|
|
|
|
He furnished dies to
the United States Mint as early as 1826 and in September 1835 was accepted as
an assistant engraver to William Kneass. Shortly before, on August 27, Kneass
had a debilitating stroke, and all pattern and die work from that time onward
was done by Gobrecht, including the creation of the 1836 Gobrecht dollars
and, most probably, certain 1838 pattern half dollars (that have been called
Kneass heads for many years). From December 21, 1840 until his death on July
23, 1844, he served as chief engraver. |
|
|
|
|
His father was born in 1733 close
to the village where our family is originating from. |
|
|
Until today the exact link is still
missing. |
