GOLD MOURNING RING OF JOHN PINE DECATUR, SURVIVING BROTHER OF COMMODORE STEPHEN DECATUR.John Pine Decatur (1786-1832) like his brother served in the Navy, but died as an Army sutler at Ft. Gibson, Indian Territory, November 12, 1832.

This was probably made for his widow Maria Susanna Ten Eyck Decatur (1789-1850). Since Stephen Decatur had no children, all of Commodore Decatur’s memorabilia and artifacts are from descent of his brother’s lineage.

CONDITION: Very good overall with light band, as is the accompanying hinged ring box. 52714-161 JGS (500-1,000)
