Associates included George Slater Barkentin

George Slater Barkentin's uncle, the silversmith Jes Barkentin (c.1815-83, born in Denmark) went into partnership with Carl Krall. The start date of the partnership is unconfirmed and could have been as early as the 1860s. It is also uncertain whether another member of the Barkentin family worked with Krall after Jes's death in 1883.
