Middletown Patents
The list below came from the site for the Connecticut State Library. One part is called The Patent Project. This is a list of patents issued to Middletown residents or a Middletown business. The is not a complete list.
First names and middle initial are given when known. If a patentee has more than one patent the initials only are given. If a patent has more than one patentee the other(s) are listed below the first. If a patent was assigned to a company it is listed below the patentee.
The patents with the number "0" were lost in a fire at the patent office. One exception, Oliver F. Grover Printers rule mitering tool 5/29/1860, had the wrong number. I changed it to "0".
This is not a complete list of Middletown patents. I selected the ones linked to individuals or businesses making tools. Also, some patents are not listed at the State site.
The sites are Connecticut State Library http://www.cslib.org/about.htm
