Willem Godfried Lotter

Cape Colony 

Active c.1770-1810

Willem Godfried Lotter, baptized at the Cape on 29 September 1748, was the son of Matthias Lotter and Anna Dorothea van den Berg. He married Helena Wilhelmina Cornelisse on 7 April 1776, and later Wilhelmina Margaretha Wentzel on 15 August 1779. He began working as a silversmith around 1770 and continued until 1809. He died in 1810. It appears that Willem Godfried and his son shared the same silversmith marks, as these marks have been found on items dated both earlier than the son's working period and later than the father's.
