John Dilworth
LUPOT, Laurent Born 1686 Mirecourt, d. after 1762 Orleans France. Son of Jean Lupot, above. Worked as a schoolmaster in Plombières before establishing himself as a violin maker in Lunéville from 1751. Subsequently moved to Orleans. Rather undistinguished work. Manuscript label: Laurent Lupot / Lunéville 1751
George Hart
Son of Jean Lupot, removed to Plombieres, afterwards to Luneville, and again to Orleans.
Cecie Stainer
Son of Jean Lupot and his wife, Laure ; b. 1696, Mirecourt. In 1747 he was acting as a schoolmaster at Plombieres, but in 1751 established himself as a violin maker at Luneville, where he remained till 1756. Later he moved to Orleans, and was working there, 1762. His instruments are only interesting as showing the sort of work that preceded that of Nicolas Lupot. His son, François (1736-1804), was also a maker.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff
Schüler seines Vaters Jean L. Jedenfalls ein gebildeterer Mann, denn 1747
war er Schulmeister in Plombiére, und hier wurde ihm auch 1736 sein Sohn
François geboren. Im Jahre 1751 siedelte er als Geigenmacher nach Lunéville
über, wo er bis 1756 blieb. 1762 finden wir ihn dann als Geigenmacher in
Orleans wieder.
