Notes:

Leonard W. Noyes of Nashua was the manufacturer of a number of different products and from 1832 to1838, was the proprietor of a clock factory. The clocks are said to have been actually produced, however, by "Wyman, Rogers & Cox"--probably Joseph Wyman, Levi Rodgers and William Cox all listed in subsequent city directories as "clockmakers."
