ing, Duffey's wife was probably living at the time.
They had three children, one boy and two girls, born
about 1792, 1794, and 1796, respectively. The printing
business was not proving very profitable; therefore
Duffey, not unlike certain twentieth century notables
who endorse cigarettes and soap, tried to turn a more
or less honest penny by sounding the praises of Dr.
Hamilton's Celebrated Worn Destroying Lozenges.
The Return of Enoch Story. - Enoch Story, general-
ly called the Younger because of his probable relation-
ship to another Enoch Story, (died 1779?96) printer of
Philadelphia, is known to have operated a printing es-
tablishment in Baltimore in 1774 and 1775. Material
has recently been found at the Maryland Historical
Society which proves that he was in Baltimore from
1772 through 1775, when, probably because of strong
competition from William Goddard, he thought it best to
return to his native city of Philadelphia.^ He con-
tinued with printing there at least until 1794, which
is the last year in which his name appears in the
Philadelphia Directory. Prom Philadelphia he may have
gone to New York City, for "Storey, E., printer" re-
sided or carried on his trade at 11 Williar Street
96 Pennsylvania archives. Series VI, v. 13,
p. 306.
