Joseph Smith is recorded in Moore, A.J. THE CLOCKMAKERS OF BRISTOL 1650-1900 as working from several addresses in Bristol 1725-75. He is generally considered to be a fine and diverse maker with examples ranging from eight-day longcase clocks with tidal dial to watches with champlevŽ dials. He was perhaps the most prolific maker of high quality bracket clocks in Bristol during the middle of the 18th century as several examples are known including a very rare miniature walnut model with 4 inch dial and a quarter chiming clock with moonphase (illustrated in Barder, R.C. Georgian Bracket Clocks on page 112). A mahogany table clock by Joseph Smith was sold in these rooms on 17th February 2010 (lot 41).

Provenance: The property of a private collector. Possibly commissioned by Anthony Adrian Keith-Falconer the 7th Lord Halkerton, 5th Earl of Kintore for his newly acquired seat, Keith Hall, circa 1778. Thence down the family line to Arthur George Keith-Falconer 12th Lord Halkerton, 10th Earl of Kintore before possibly passing to his widow Helena Zimmerman, (previously Duchess of Manchester) on his death in 1966. Thence by family descent until sold at Sotheby`s, London, January 21st 1995 (with provenance as property of the Dowager Countess of Manchester thence by descent). Subsequently at Hayfield House, Saratoga, California prior to acquisition by the current owner. The clockmaking partnership of Turnbull and Aitchison (probably William and Robert) is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as being active 1768-80. The current lot commemorates the loss of the 4th Earl of Kintore`s youngest son, Willem, at the Battle of Brandywine in 1777. The clock also commemorates the death of his commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel John Bird who was killed at the subsequent action of Germantown. The battle at Brandywine Creek was the first significant action between the British and American forces during Sir William Howe`s Philadelphia campaign of 1777. In late July Howe had landed his force of around 17,000 troops at the Northern end of Chesapeake Bay with the intention of marching on Philadelphia. The American force of 20,600 troops under the command of General George Washington positioned themselves near the strategic crossing of Brandywine Creek at Chadd`s Ford with further divisions covering other crossing points nearby. Lord Howe, (relying on better intelligence provided by sympathetic locals) decided to commit to an outflanking manoeuvre. As a diversion, around 5,000 troops, mainly Hessian Guards under the command of Lieutenant General Wilhelm von Knymphausen, were deployed to confront Washington`s forces at Chadd`s Ford. The rest of Howe`s forces, under the command of Major General Lord Charles Cornwallis, headed north, intending to cross Brandywine Creek at Trimble`s Ford before attacking the rear of Washington`s right flank. After crossing, Howe allowed his troops a two-hour rest from their exhausting 17 mile march (to take afternoon tea according to American accounts) before advancing on to outflank the American forces. Howe`s hesitation allowed the Americans enough time to consolidate some of their troops on higher ground at Birmingham Meeting House which subsequently slowed Howe`s advance enough to allow many of the enemy troops to withdraw safely. Meanwhile Knyphausen, on the east bank of the Brandywine at Chadd`s Ford advanced into the weakened American centre forcing their retreat. Careful damage limitation, co-ordinated by Gilburt du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, ensured that the battle was not turned into a rout of the American forces who managed to retreat and regroup at Chester. The victory at Brandywine allowed the British and Hessian forces to take Philadelphia with little resistance on 26th September 1777. At Brandywine 15th Foot were attached to Lord Cornwallis`s column and were under the command of Major General Charles Grey. Grey`s troops were engaged in perhaps the bloodiest part of the battle attacking General Sullivan`s position at Birmingham Meeting House. The 15th Foot were short of musket balls hence only the sharpest of shooters was allowed to fire `live` at the battle with other troops firing small charges of powder only, this lead to the regiment being nicknamed `The Snappers` It is probable that Lieutenant Grenadier Willem Falconer was attached to this force hence probably lost his life near the Birmingham Meeting House. Colonel John Bird survived Brandywine but was possibly wounded as he is recorded as `lying sick` at Bringhurst House, Germantown when the American forces attacked on 4th October. He apparently arose from his bed to lead his troops but was subsequently mortally wounded and died after the battle at Bringhurst House. He is buried at DeBonneville cemetery, Philadelphia in a grave with the inscription; Here lie the remains of General James Tanner Agnew a British Officer who was killed at Germantown on the 4th October 1777 and of Lieutenant Colonel John Bird a British Officer at Germantown on or about the 4th October 1777. The bodies of the above were removed from the lower Burial Ground Germantown by order of General Howe and placed in this cemetery with the consent of Doctor George de Benneville in May 1778. Requiescat in Pace. This stone was erected in their memory by His Britannic Majesty`s Government, October 4th 1903. The fact that the current lot commemorates both the death of Lieutenant Falconer as well as his commanding officer, Colonel John Bird, is unusual. The Keith-Falconer family perhaps chose to include his name on such a personal object of remembrance as a mark of respect for his heroism and influence on their son.
