In this pattern is the last name at the top?
These are serving spoons, marked 'S.Browne', NYC 1798-1819. If that helps. Thanks for any help!

That kind of monogram is usually used for a married couple so the letter on the top is for their last name. In this case it could be for example "Owen, Matthew & Charlotte".
