Perhaps the coal mining boom of the time snatched him away from a family tradition of watchmaking. Mary's father and brothers are all coal miners. It is perhaps not a coincidence that in this census, he is shown living in the household next to the parents of his wife Mary Lyon. 1891: 26yrs, living at Whiston Cross, Whiston, Lancashire (now Merseryside) and is a coal miner.

Some 30 plus examples exist, including one which is in the collection at Winterthur with a case constructed by Thomas Affleck who was a very talented Philadelphia cabinetmaker. It was not uncommon for many to return to America with one of his movements to be cased here. When Quakers from Colonial American visited London, they were welcomed and received lodging in his home. Most of whom lived in the Philadelphia area. He was a dedicated Quaker and had many acquaintance who lived in America. His correspondence indicate a warm and highly socialized personality. He was diligent and prolific worker and by temperament, patient and conscientious. It is said that he was a physically large individual. By 1753 he is listed as a Merchant and Taylor in London later as a Watchmaker. This town is located some 67 miles northwest of London.
