Samuel Ship- man, of Saybrook, Conn., born Dec. 23d, 1779; learned his trade of brass- founder, clock-maker, and silver-spoon maker of Joseph Barton, of Stock- bridge, Mass .; his apprenticeship with Barton expired in December, 1799, he being but twenty, having served the stipulated time ; he in company with his fellow-apprentice, No. (443,) whose term of service expired the same month and year, began business in the north room of the Sugden house, then owned by Esquire North, and stood near the present mansion of Frederic North ; this room was vacated for the purpose by the family of Elihu Burritt ; thus North and Shipman commenced the making of the first sleigh-bells ever manufactured in the place, in the spring of 1800; they worked together only that summer, for in the fall each of them set up separately, under the patronage of their fathers; Mr. Shipman in part of his father's joiners shop, (which soon after burned down.) The fact of North and Shipman making sleigh-bells together in the Sugden house, is fully established by the testimony of two living witnesses, now, 1862, cor- roborating the statements of Mr. Shipman himself, while living ; the cap- ital stock he employed was fifty dollars he borrowed of Dr. Smalley, and his manufactured goods he transported to Boston on horse-back ; at the prices and profits of those days he was able not only to refund his money borrowed, but to supply himself with raw material for further profit, and thus he rose to comparative wealth, respectability and influence.
