Not wanting to hijack the thread but I have a W&C Scott pinfire 12 gauge circa 1863/65 which is marked on the top rib "Made for Benjamin D Kennedy, Louisville KY".

I acquired it from a collector from Louisville. He had tried to research Mr Kennedy but all he was able to find was where he had obtained a business license to operate a Jewelry shop in Louisville during the right time frame in which the gun was built.
