Occupation

James D. BENNETT was a Tinsmith.
The ferblantier, or tinsmith, was a producer of tools and utensils, often household items such as pots and pans for example, using iron covered with a thin layer of tin (tinplate). He also knew how to repair utensils made of sheet steel. This is in contrast to the chaudronnier, or coppersmith, who mostly worked with copper or bronze.

Many were itinerant, or travelling, tinsmiths, going from village to village, or door-to-door, selling their wares.
