MICHAEL, John:  John Michael, birth date unknown, died
1814, appears on the Hanover Tax rolls as a clockmaker in
1792 and 1793.  By 1810 he was described as a merchant and
owned Lot 70, just off Center Square on Baltimore Street,
which was valued well above the town median.  On the 1814
tax list, the property is charged to his widow. It is
reported that he made a signed 8-day tall case clock in
Chippendale style with a mood dial.  His daughter married
Samuel Hostetter about 1813, which may indicate that John
learned the trade in the Hostetter shop.
