He was the first President of "Bristol Mfg. Co.
Was a resident of Brooklyn, 1830
Ret. Bristol, 1833
He can be found in ACI, p. 134.
Then there's a long note taken, it says, from "The Book of American Clocks",
p. 220 & 221.
Ives Brothers: Bristol. Six brothers famous in Bristol clock history. Ira;
Amasa; Philo, father of Lawson C and Philander; Joseph or "Uncle Joe";
Shaylor; Chauncey. Eleven patents on clocks. Ira and Shaylor each had two.
Joseph had seven, from clock case patent 21 Mar 1822 to final patent on "Watch
No. 25934, 25 Oct 1859". Also see notes for Joseph's brothers listed above
and references to other Iveses in the "Clock Book". Extensive notes regarding
his inventions & business relationships. Also notes on John Birge, one of his
partners, who rescued Joseph from a Brooklyn debtor's prison in 1830. He was
a partner in Birge, Peck, & Co., Bristol 1849-1859, which made "large number
of clocks" (incorporating a number of Joseph's patents)...One of these clocks
was purchased by Joseph Arnold in Brodheadsville, Monroe Co., PA abt 1850.
This clock was passed down to his son Freeman Arnold then to Freeman's son,
Edward Arnold. Edward, in turn, passed it on to his son Robert, who still has
it in his possession (Jan 1996).
Finally, there's a short note citing "CONNECTICUT: A Guide to its Roads, Lore
& People", p 60. Again copying verbatim:
Joseph Ives, who entered the field in 1811, was a clockmaker of exceptional
inventive ability; in 1832 he place on the market clocks with brass works, and
later patented and produced clocks with a cantilever spring.
