Have you ever had some one in your family say that your Great-great grand father had invented something and you thought they were just stories. Well now maybe you can found out if it was true or not. This page will have the names of 127, inventers and what they invented.
Those of you who didn’t find a name here can have a look up by request in the Patent book of 1850, which hold all the patentees names and what was the inventions or discoveries, it also gives the patentees State he lived in and the date of the patent.
Note. Although I will only list the name and what was invented and a date, there are reports for all the names on this page, which you can have on request. This will not be possible for the book of 1850, just the information I stated above. If you would like to make a request my address can be found in my profile.
