His inventory lists first his real estate, then after the two slaves, Pompey and Abraham, peculiarly personal property, is mentioned one watch, ^35. The Tradition of the Old Weaver's Clock. After this minute examination of the homes, possible only through the exactness of the old appraisers, we must conclude without doubt that time-pieces were rare in Medford in the early decades of 1700, and that the appearance of a clock in the possession of these two orphans was an event to be noted and reme...mbered. The records of Essex County, at Salem, confirm this result as to the scarcity of time-pieces, for in the three years from December, 1699, to December, 1702, there were one hundred eleven inventories filed, and in but four of them is there mention of a clock or watch, and to three of these the epithet old is attached, indicating that they were probably out of repair and useless. The records at Boston for 1699- 1700 show seventy- two inventories, in but eight of which clocks or watches are mentioned.
