- Roswell Gleason (April 6, 1799 – January 27, 1887) was an American manufacturer and entrepreneur who rose from apprentice tinsmith to owner of a large manufacturing concern that initially produced pewter objects for domestic and religious use, and later added Britannia ware and silver-plated goods to its catalog. He was instrumental (possibly with encouragement from his friend Daniel Webster) in bringing the process of silver electroplating to America, creating a new market for less expensive substitutes for luxury goods.
