  General notes:

Watchmaker

  Events in his life were:

• He worked from circa 1800 to 1802 as a watchmaker in New York City NY listed in the city directory at 91 Pearl Street. ¹²

• He was a partner from 1802 to 1810 with Isaac Marquand in Savannah GA as MARQUAND & PAULDING. ¹²

• He was a partner from 1810 to 1815 with Isaac Marquand and Josiah Penfield in Savannah GA as MARQUAND, PAULDING & PENFIELD. Penfield had been an employee of MARQUAND & PAULDING for several years before becoming a partner. The business had three main branches: a New York City office (MARQUAND & PAULDING) run by Marquand, the jewelery store in Savannah run jointly by Paulding and Penfield, and a New Orleans branch run by Paulding as C. PAULDING & Co. The complicated arrangement was finally dissolved by mutual consent on 15 November 1815. ¹²
