The "artistes" who cut, cured, and packaged meat products from a variety of sources were a vital part of the early Albany production economy. Most often, these individuals were called butchers. This feature is in its early stages of development. Please be patient when following this link to more information about the meat preparers on this website. In 1756, two butchers (Johannes Seeger and Benjamin Williamson) were named on the census of Albany householders taken by the British army.
