Daniel Burnap, Clockmaker
One of Connecticut’s most successful clockmakers, Daniel Burnap (1759 to 1838) learned the trade under Thomas Harland (1735 to 1807) of Norwich. Burnap moved to East Windsor shortly before his marriage to Deliverence Kingsbury in June 1782. He advertised in The Connecticut Courant in March, 1791 to inform the public of his many offerings. In 1795 Burnap retired from clockmaking and purchased land in Andover, Connecticut.
