John Duncumb’s son, Stynt, known also as Samuel (1712-1767), inherited his father’s business, but he had worked within the concern since 1730. Records are few, but the survival of large numbers of items bearing his mark, indicate that it continued to thrive. He died childless at the age of 55, and left the business to his nephew, John Ingram junior.
