Silas Hoadley

Silas Hoadley was born in 1786 in Bethany, Connecticut. He first apprenticed to his uncle Samuel and was making clocks in 1808. Along with Seth Thomas, he was hired by Eli Terry at the age of 21 to set up and work at Terry’s Ireland factory. Shortly after Terry’s Contract was satisfied, Hoadley and Seth Thomas bought the factory from Terry. Eventually, he purchased all of Thomas’s shares of the business and for the first time was in business for himself. Silas Hoadley became known for using movements of his design and in 1849 retired a very wealthy man for the period. He died in Plymouth, Connecticut, in 1870.
