Nathan Storrs of Northampton, Massachusetts.

Nathan Storrs was born in Mansfield, Connecticut, in 1768. It is currently thought that he was trained as a clockmaker by Jacob Sargeant. Nathan first advertises in Northampton, Massachusetts, in 1791, and that he is open for business and is lately from New York. In 1792, he partnered with Samuel Stiles as Stiles & Storrs. This partnership quickly dissolved, and in 1792 and Nathan joined Jedidah Baldwin in business as Baldwin & Storrs. This partnership lasts until 1793, when Baldwin moves to Hanover, NH. In 1827, Storrs & Cook (Benjamin F. Cook) formed a partnership that lasted until 1833. In 1829, they opened an additional outlet in Amherst, Massachusetts. Nathan retired in 1833 and died in 1839.
