"Philenda, b. 31 May 1789; d. 12 May 1810; m. SETH THOMAS. He m. (2) LAURA A. ANDREWS and had several children. Seth Thomas served an apprenticeship at carpenter trade with DANIEL TUTTLE of Plymouth, Conn., an uncle of his first wife. He was very quiet, unobtrusive, faithful in the performance of his duties and was called by some of the smart lads of Wolcott, "Daniel Tuttle's fool"--an error of judgment, as subsequently was made manifest. About 1813 he bought a property in Plymouth Hollow of HEMAN CLARK, and began to make clocks. This industry prospered greatly and the village of Thomaston (named for its founder), containing 2,000 inhabitants, is one of the results. The Co. employs over a half million of dollars capital and has branch depots in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and London. He died 1859. The Waterbury American of Feb. 4 that year (1859) contains an obit. See Bronson's History of Waterbury for biography sketch and steel portrait. issue by 1st marriage: 2 daughters: Philenda and another; both died young."
