<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2397654, member: 22729&quot;]I think &quot;Union Flour&quot; was just a slogan showing his support for the Union cause, longnine. However, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if he did supply flour to the government. Apparently he had a very prosperous business and the wherewithal to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The initials &quot;D.L.&quot; stood for Daniel Linton (Wing). For whatever reason, he generally listed his name as De Linton Wing. He was born in Stanford, NY on May 10, 1822 and married Rachel Sands in September, 1842. The couple had four or five children.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although listed as a flour merchant in the 1860 Federal Census records, I know he sold produce as well. He was the proprietor of a well known brand of flour called &quot;Julian Mills.&quot; I don&#039;t know if it was his private label, or he was just a prominent dealer of it. In any case, Julian Mills had strong sales in the U.S. as well as overseas.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Union Flour reverse die... #1372...was unique to his token as far as I know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
