Note: Edward Duffield was one of the leading Philadelphia clockmakers of the 18th century. A colonial clock and compass maker, civic leader, and educator, he was born and raised at "Benfield," his family's estate in what is now the Morrell Park neighborhood. His double-faced clock that hung outside his shop at 2nd and Arch streets in Old City may have been the first public clock in America. He succeeded Peter Stretch as caretaker of the State House clock, and was known for his friendship with Benjamin Franklin, making clocks for Franklin's family and serving as executor of his estate. Duffield, who lived from 1730 to 1803, was inducted into the Northeast Philadelphia Hall of Fame in 2016.
