Chauncey Boardman

Chauncey Boardman was born in 1789. He worked in Bristol from 1810 through 1850. He began making wood tall clock movements with Butler Dunbar until 1812, when he bought him out. After that, Boardman made movements for other companies, including Chauncey Jerome. In 1832 he formed a partnership with Joseph Wells. They operated four separate factories that produced wood movements in great quantity until 1837, when rolled brass was then introduced. In 1844 the firm split, and each continued under their own name. Chauncey Boardman died in 1857.
