This made a good clock for time and suited farmers first rate.
In the spring of 1824, I went into company with two men by the name of Peck, from Bristol.

We took two hundred of these movements and a few tools in two one horse wagons and started East, intending to stop in the vicinity of Boston.

We stopped at a place about fifteen miles from there called East Randolph; after looking about a little, we concluded to start our business there and hired a joiners' shop of John Adams, a cousin of J.Q.Adams.

We then went to Boston and bought a load of lumber, and commenced operations.

I was the case-maker of our concern, and 'pitched into' the pine lumber in good earnest.
