MANUFACTURING.
Decline of Agriculture; Manufacturing ; Capt. Anson Mathews; Capt. Bristol ; Carriage and Wagon making: Combs ; Carriage Bolts; Brass Foundry ; Stocks ; Cotton Gin and Saws; Tinmen's tools; Cement; Grist and Saw Mills; List of Patents for Southington 1809-1874.
THE chief interests of this town for the last quarter century, have been Manufacturing. Agriculture had for some time been on the decline. The soil is thin and easily exhausted, and the effort to make tobacco culture remunerative and beneficial to the town. has been only partially successful. It may be said that for twenty-five years, agricul- ture has not held its own, while other pursuits have gained.
The ingenuity and wants of the people had led them to a limited amount of manufacturing more than seventy-five years ago. In 1790 there were potash works just south of the village on the Plantsville road. How long before this they had existed. I cannot find out, but they were abandoned before .1800. At South End in 1806, Capt. Anson Matthews began to make buttons on a limited scale, and from various kinds of material. He soon added wool carding; and finally began making fancy "bellows," britannia tumblers, combs, &c. He was followed by Capt. Julius Bristol, who continued for a few years in the same line of industry. In the same part of the town, at one time the carriage and wagon business was quite flourishing under Neal & Hitchcock, and others. A paper mill was in operation for some time-in the same building used by Rev. Mr. Robinson and others as a grist mill, and which was afterwards burned. The site is now occupied by Mr. Byron Twiss, for a saw mill.
At Plantsville an impulse had been given to business by Mr. Joel Root, who removed to New Haven at the beginning of the century. Here Orrin Pearl established the comb business, and carried it on for several years. About 1834, John Wightman, Rollin Dickinson, Irenus Atkins, and Martin Judd, engaged in the brass foundry business, and made brass headed shovels and tongs, brass andirons, &c. Their place of business was where the Baptist church now stands, but afterwards they removed to the west side of the river. Subsequently some mem-

bers of this firm, and others, associated for the manufacturing of gentlemen's stocks or ties for the neck, but soon removed their business to the center, in the old Baptist church that had for a long time remained unused. Jeremiah Neale was one of the proprietors, and superintendent of this branch of the business.
In 1818 Micah Rugg " set up for himself " in the blacksmith business at Marion.1 His leisure time was spent in making a better class of tools than were then in use. His scythes became celebrated. His steel-traps found a ready market south, and were used there for catching otter. In studying the best methods of making tools and implements, he finally invented and brought out the machine for making carriage bolts. He had begun making bolts by hand, out of bar iron, in 1839, turning out about one hundred a day per man. In 1840, Mr. Rugg took in as partner Mr. Martin Barnes, constituting the firm of Rugg & Barnes, the latter2 is at the present time the oldest bolt maker in the business. Mr. Barnes made with his own hands the first machine for cutting the thread of bolts, in 1840; also the same year, the first rounding press. These inventions of Rugg & Barnes, were from some cause not patented, although the latter went to Wash- ington, and in person sought a patent. Some trifling "red-tape " is alleged as the reason of failure. The patents if issued would have enriched not only the inventors but the entire town. This establishment at Marion was the beginning of the " bolt business," that is now so vital to the prosperity and support of Southington. Different firms 3 are now engaged in this business. Although the business has improved as to methods and machinery, yet the foundation of it was in the brain of Micah Rugg, who was materially aided by Martin Barnes.
Also in Marion another interest was started, in 1832, by Samuel G. Merriman, who associated with himself other parties in the manufac- turing of ivory combs. A factory was built on the west side of the highway and on the edge of the stream just south of the home of the late Philo Barnes. In 1835, Mr. Merriman began the business of mak- ing cotton gins and saws of all kinds, and this he afterwards removed to Bristol. He took out two important patents, one for cutting teeth in saws, and the other for a friction apparatus to put under the journals of the shaft of the cotton gin. The latter was especially valuable, as it prevented the journals from heating and setting fire to the gin house, as often happened.
1 His shop was just south of where Mr. Philo Barnes lived.
2 He is still in active life and engaged at Clark Mills.
3 It was my desire to give a sketch of each establishment, and I had the promise from different persons of a brief statement of the capital invested, and history of each. But the delay in sending them in compels me to go to press without them.

HISTORY OF SOUTHINGTON.
Tinners' machines were first made by Seth Peck in 1829. In the earlier inventions and improvements, it is said that E. M. Converse was conspicuous, but like Mr. Rugg and others whose genins furnishes the method or plan, he never profited by the patents. Mr. Converse had learned the trade of comb-maker, and worked for Asahel Peck in Hartford. He married a sister of his employer, and settled in Ken- sington. Removing to Southington in 1815, he lived in the Chapman house, and in that house he perfected the plans1 that were afterwards so successfully put into practical use. If the brain of Micah Rugg gave birth to the bolt business, that of Edward M. Converse originated that extensive interest now conducted by the Peck, Stow, Wilcox Co. Seth Peck was first alone in the business; then the firm became Seth Peck & Co .; then Peck, Smith Manufacturing Co. in 1850. Solomon Stow came to Southington in 1823, and began the business of cabinet making; the shop standing a little north of Mrs. Andrew Upson's house. In 1828 he began clock-making. In 1834 he built the dam and shop near the new Southington depot. In 1837 he entered the employ of Seth Peck & Co., and in 1847 established the firm of which he was the head, and engaged in the manufacture of tinman's ma- chines. In 1853 the S. Stow Manufacturing Co. was formed, and the old works were removed to Plantsville. A consolidation of the com- panies engaged in making tinners' tools took place in 1870, since which time the corporation has been known as Peck, Stow, Wilcox Co. This company employs about five hundred hands, and the labor bills amount to one thousand dollars a day.
At North End were the works of Capt. Julius Savage, which a few years ago were burned, when he rebuilt in the village. He has been a successful manufacturer and sustains a high character as a business man.
Among inventors, and those who have enriched others while receiv- ing nothing himself, is John H. Hobart, who, by not securing patents in time, has been robbed of the just rewards of his skill. He has per- fected several important processes in working in iron and brass, and also holds the secret of separating other metals from their alloys.
The first manufacture of cement in this State, if not in the country, was in this town. The business was in the hands of Anson Merriman, but the sole genius controlling the work was Mr. Gad Andrews, then a young man. The first experiments were made in 1824-5, and with success. The works were on Mr. Merriman's farm, now owned by Mr. Andrews. But for a blunder in first putting the cement upon the market, it might have remained a good business. Unfortunately,

several hundred barrels were shipped to New York at once, which, being a new and untried article, of course did not meet with ready sale. The loss and discouragement incident to this led to the aban- donment of the business.
Other industries have had a transient existence here, as making of clocks, lasts, brushes, etc., but not on an extensive scale.
The earliest grist and saw mills can be traced back into the last century. In 1767, there was a grist mill at Atwater's, and in 1786 there were grist and saw mills at South End; a saw mill on or near the site of H. D. Smith & Co.'s shop; also mills of same kinds at Clark's and Dickerman's Corners; a fulling mill at Marion. So far as I can judge, the site of the first mill was either at South End or Atwater's. A tradition states that the grandfather1 of Carmi John- son came from Wallingford, and built the mill at Atwater's about the middle of the last century. This property at that time was in the hands of Dr. Skilton, who then lived in this town.
Thus it will be seen that every section of the town has had within its limits some manufacturing interest.
INVENTIONS AND PATENTS.2
The Connecticut Yankee has a world-wide repute, and the products of his genius and skill are found in all parts of the world. Ilis inven- tive powers are marvelous. No more instructive volume could be written, than one embracing sketches of the inventors and inventions of this State. And the exhibit this town makes of inventive genius is one in which all the natives may justly take pride.
The first patent issued in the United States bears date July 31, 1790, and was granted to Samuel Hopkins for "making pot and pearl ashes." Two others were granted the same year; one for " making candles," and the other for " making flour and meal." In 1791 there were thirty- three patents issued, and in 1792 only eleven, while in 1874 there were 13,599, including reissues.
The first patent issued to a resident of Connecticut was May 10, 1804, to Amos D. Allen, "for improvement of the lantern." The town- ship in which he lived is not given.
The first issued to a resident of Southington, of which we have a
1 Jennings Johnson, who ent the "stone trough " of a cider mill in Wallingford, which work gave him at the time considerable notoriety.
2 To prepare this exhibit has been a work of no little labor, and special acknowl- cdgments are due James Shepherd, Esq., of Bristol, who has kindly done the work. From the first he has been interested in these historical sketches and given all aid in his power. No native of the town has been to me a more obliging and efficient helper.
