I found two more examples which are similar to the Ann Franklin label mentioned in part three. My assumption about the printer of the Ann Franklin plate may have been clouded by wishful thinking.Perhaps the plate was used by a different Ann Franklin.The last thing I want to do is spread misinformation so I will back away from my from my previous assumption until more research is completed..
John Campbell, Charles County
James B. Wilkinson, St John's College Annapolis
I have not found any references about this owner.It is interesting to note that the college is still in existence

Benjamini Morris, 1744
This is another plate for which more research is required.I had always assumed it belonged to one of the early settlers of Bucks County, Pennsylvania but I have yet to find hard evidence to support my assumption..

It's nice to include a label where the research should be fairly simple.
William Peachey Of Richmond
After seventy five years on earth I have a fairly good understanding of my strengths and weaknesses.
To be perfectly candid I don't usually have the patience to do detailed research.so I am going to cite only one reference about a possible owner of this plate , hopefully I have chosen correctly.
I will be back again on Sunday to complete this series about name labels.
