An alphabetical listing of all clockmakers and watchmakers recorded in the state from the earliest days and the Civil War. Draws on US Census data after 1850 when it began reporting occupations; court records from hustings, orphans, and other judiciaries; tax lists; newspaper advertisements; and county histories. Though many have no known surviving work, in a few cases the only evidence of a clockmaker's existence is the signature with name, date, and location on a clock.
