It is commonly accepted that John continued the use of his father’s name punches, which were used over long periods, both too early for the son to have been making large hollowware pieces and well after the father had died.

Born into slavery near Petersburg, Virginia, Keckly used her talents as a seamstress and designer to buy her freedom and that of her son. In July of 1860, Elizabeth moved to Washington, D.C. She created an independent business in the capital based on clients who were the wives of the government elite. She was best known as the personal modiste and confidante of Mary Todd Lincoln, the First Lady. Keckley founded the Contraband Relief Association ("CRA") in August 1862, receiving donations from both Lincolns, as well as other white patrons and well-to-do free blacks. The CRA provided food, shelter, clothing, and emotional support to recently freed slaves and/or sick and wounded soldiers. The organization was based in Washington, D.C., but the funds distributed and the services provided helped families in the larger region. After the American Civil War, Keckley wrote and published an autobiography, Behind the Scenes: Or, Thirty Years a Slave and Four Years in the White House (1868). It was both a slave narrative and a portrait of the First Family, especially Mary Todd Lincoln, and is considered controversial for breaking privacy about them.
