Moses Wing of Windsor and Hartford Connecticut and Worcester, Massachusetts.

Moses Wing was born on April 25, 1760, the son of Samuel and Joannah (Haskell) Wing. He served in the Revolutionary War and was present at the retreat from New York. In 1777, He enlisted as a private for service at Peekskill in Capt Edward Griswold's company of the Conn militia. End ended his service as a Major. He returned to Windsor and worked as a Goldsmith, but made brass clocks, silver spoons, etc., and also repaired watches. Several tall case clocks are known to us. All but one have skillfully engraved sheet brass dials. These are finished in a silver wash. Three of these dials have been found with the initials "DP" engraved on them. The "DP" has been identified as Daniel Porter, who Daniel Burnap trained in Windsor. This type of engraved brass dial was very popular with the clockmaking school of Thomas Harland and later Daniel Burnap. In March 1803, he and Geer Terry advertised their partnership in the Hartford American Mercury that they were "Makers of all kinds of gold and silver work." They were located in Hartford until 1805, when Moses relocated to Worcester, MA, and advertised as a gold and silversmith. Here he took on Martin Moses as an apprentice. Moses married twice. His first wife was Hannah Denslow. They married on December 12, 1781, in Windsor. Wing's second wife was Huldah Denslow. She was a cousin of Hannah's. They were married on April 8, 1793, in Windsor. Moses Wing died on October 28, 1809, in Worcester and is buried in Palisdo Cemetry in Windsor, where his tombstone still stands.
