Description
This
clock
,
which
measures
7
'
tall
(2.13
m)
,
belonged
to
David
Thompson
Finney
,
who
settled
in
Holmes
County
with his
wife
Mary
in
1811
.
Finney
, an
attorney
,
later
served
two
terms
as a
judge
in
Coshocton
County
and was a
member
of the
first
Holmes
County
Board
of
Commissioners
in
1825
.
Finney
was
born
in
Wilmington
,
Delaware
in
1773
and
moved
to
Washington
County
,
Pennsylvania
in
1807
.
When
Finney
moved
to
Monroe
Township
in
Holmes
County
, he
brought
this
tall
clock
with him and
placed
it
in his
log
house
. This
tall
case
clock
is
an
example
of an
American
style
of
case
clock
,
which
tended
to be
slightly
smaller
than those
made
in
England
to
compensate
for
lower
ceilings
in
American
homes
.
English
tall
case
clocks
were
popular
between
1660
and
1730
and the
trend
spread
to
America
in the
latter
half
of the
eighteenth
century
.
Initially
,
tall
case
clocks
had to be
imported
from
Britain
, but
New
York
,
Pennsylvania
, and
Virginia
soon
became
centers
of
clock
making
.
Tall
case
clocks
were a
symbol
of
wealth
and
prosperity
and were
owned
by the
elite
of
colonial
society
.
Date of Original
