Joseph Mulliken of Concord, Massachusetts.

Joseph Mulliken was born in Lexington, Massachusetts, on April 9th, 1765. He is the son of Nathaniel Mulliken and Lydia Stone. As a result, he is a third-generation clockmaker. The Mulliken family has a long history of making clocks in America stretching back to his great uncle Jonathan Mulliken born about 1701 in Newburyport. Joseph is the first recorded clockmaker to live in work in Concord. He moved to Concord in 1787 and worked there until 1802. He lived in the center of town and became involved in local affairs. 

David Wood of the Concord Museum reports that approximately 20 tall case clocks are known. The fancier of the cases are thought to have been made by Ammi White, who was born in Concord in 1754 and was at work there from 1790 through 1802.
