The master behind INGRAHAM Clocks was Elias I(1805-1885). Elias, who lived to the advanced age of 80, was born in Marlborough, Connecticut. He came to Bristol in 1828 to work for George Mitchell building clock cases. In 1830, Elias, now a noted clock , began working for Chauncey and Lawson C. Ives. He made over five thousand clock cases for them over the next three years. As a group, clocks, and especially the clocks made under a label bearing the name up until 1885, refer to clocks made by several different companies.The firm of Brewster and  clock company was formed in 1844 and operated until July 24, 1852. During this time Elias designed the Gothic clock case, with four columns. The E. and A. was then started and ran from 1852 to 1856; and then Elias and Company from 1857 to 1860. Then from 1861 to 1880 the name E.  & Company was used. From 1881 to 1884, the company was know as The E.  & Company. Finally in 1885 it was incorporated as The E. Company. This well-documented history and short time periods for each company make it easy to date the early  clocks based upon the label.
