Notes
1961 Brigadier General J. Steinhoff visited Wheatland and dated tea set 1709-1729. His research found that the porcelain was from the town of Meissen, Germany and originally created for the household of Augustus Rex, called August the Strong, was Elector of Saxony from 1694 as well as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania in the years 1697–1706 and from 1709 until his death in 1733. He belonged to the Albertine line of the House of Wettin.
