Virginia Clockmakers and Watchmakers, C. 1660-1860

ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles

Book Description
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.
