Jordon Post of Lanesboro, Massachusetts, Vergennes, Vermont and York, Canada.

Jordan Post was born in Hebron, Connecticut, on March 6, 1767, and died in Scarborough, Canada, in 1845. He was one of eight children born to Jordon Post and Abigail Loomis. It is now thought that he served his apprenticeship with the Connecticut Clockmaker Daniel Burnap. When comparing the work of the two, one will note that there is a strong similarity in movement design and construction. There is also a similarity in the two clockmakers' dial layouts in terms of the sizing of the calendar apertures. Once a Clockmaker in his own right, Jordan Post moved northwest to the village of Lanesboro, Massachusetts. Lanesboro is now a small section of the city of Pittsfield. An advertisement has been documented that places him there in 1793. His time in Lanesboro was short. By November of 1793, he had moved north to Vergennes, Vermont. On November 7, he advertised in the Spooner Vermont Journal that he had "erected a house for a Distillery, Malting, and Brewing, in the city of Vergennes..." In 1797 he was known in Vergennes as a clock and watchmaker. His next move was in 1802, to York, Canada. In York, he became the town's first clock and watchmaker. Here his business on the corner of King and Ay Street thrived. In 1804 he received a 200-acre grant in Hungerford, and over the next 30 years, he acquired additional property. This area would become the center of present-day Toronto. Jordon Street was named in his honor. In the 1820s, he began to sell off land and profited handsomely. In the early 1830s, he moved again. This time to Scarborough, where he constructed a sawmill on Highland Creek. This business also did very well. Post died in Scarborough in 1845 and was remembered as a highly successful and trusted citizen.

Clocks are reported signed by this Maker in all three locations. As a Clockmaker / Artisan in Canada, he was one of the first Clockmakers in that Country and one of the few that made complete clocks and trained apprentices. His output was small, most likely due to the early and primitive environment.
