The Morse Museum in Winter Park, FL houses a large collection of Tiffany's artwork. While there last month we came across a few pieces of glass that came from the Joseph Briggs House in Jersey City, NJ. Mr. Briggs was a manager at the Tiffany Studios. Being a JC native, this really caught my interest. Does anyone know where the Briggs house was / is? I tried to find him on Ancestry, but unless I'm blind, I didn't see him. Thanks in advance for the info. Regards, Karen Isley Seiferth Fort Myers, FL

What time period did he live?

Hi Mike, Thanks so much for responding to my query! As far as I can tell, Briggs lived 1873-1938. I think Tiffany died around 1948. I asked my brother if he ever heard of the house, but he said no. And brother is a great fan of Tiffany's art. It's a mystery.

  That's a fine museum in Winter Park, FL, and I wouldn't doubt their attribution for a minute! Perhaps they could tell you more about the Briggs House.    It might have been an earlier home.    The Wood-Bridge home in the 1930 census might have been a new home out in the country after 2-3-4 generations had lived in a family home in Jersey City.  Earlier generations of the family might have worked in glass or collected the glass of noted glassmakers.    My second great-grandparents home in Union City is currently on the market.  Probably built in the 1860s or earlier by the German carpenter immigrants, brothers across the street from one another, who moved out to the country from Jersey City.  I'm so grateful to the cousin who sent the online listing!   Maureen --- On Sun, 11/30/08, MIKE MCHENRY <maurmike1@verizon.net> wrote: From: MIKE MCHENRY <maurmike1@verizon.net> Subject: Re: [NJHUDSON] Joseph Briggs/Louis Tiffany To: njhudson@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, November 30, 2008, 9:31 AM What time period did he live?

I don't see much possibility of an earlier home. He immigrated in 1891. In 1900 he is living in Manhattan and 1910, 1920 & 1930 in Woodridge.

I have been following your discussion about Louis Tiffany with interest. I have been researching recently where Louis Tiffany had lived in Jersey City between 1884-1900. The reason is because one of my 85 year-old relatives has told me that living next door to my GGF sometime between the years indicated above was a "famous jewler", and that this famous jewler either resided, or rented a room next to my GGF, while running his business in NYC. After mentioning "Tiffany's" to her, she said yes. Anyway, we believe this famous jewler either lived on, or rented a room on Palisade Avenue, near the "100 steps" leading down to Hoboken. Since I could not find a Tiffany on any census on Palisade Ave, I have to assume him rented a room at 354, 357, 358, or 361 Palisade Ave. Dave --- On Mon, 12/1/08, MIKE MCHENRY <maurmike1@verizon.net> wrote: > From: MIKE MCHENRY <maurmike1@verizon.net> > Subject: Re: [NJHUDSON] Joseph Briggs/Louis Tiffany > To: njhudson@rootsweb.com > Date: Monday, December 1, 2008, 5:39 AM > I don't see much possibility of an earlier home.
