Thanks, I've always enjoyed this story since I first discovered it about 40 years ago. I am 54 and started Clack genealogy. Is your family in any way related to the Clack family of Chester, South Carolina. I've not yet discovered how far back they go. Tell me more about your genealogy and where they have resided over the years. The Clack family I'm descended from, came to Georgia by their first public record of 1785.
We've been here more than 11 generations (217 years), and they are apprently from Brunswick County, Virginia. William and Elizabeth "Betty" Twitty Clack being our ancestors in Wilkes County, Georgia.
Your story is not a tall tell. Thank you for it. It seems to be such a practical and honestly told story. I think your rendition of it, is worthy of merit!!!! Thank you so much for it. It made my day and will for days to come. It will probably become part of my memorabilia as the Watch has always interest me. Who's was it.
Let me know something about the areas your ancestors lived. I know about the Kinship and Kinfolks books in relationship to the "family of the Watch". But give me more details about the residences. Thanks.

Subject: [CLACK] Watch
My side of the family has been in possession of a large pocket watch. Instead of numbers on the dial, R-I-C-H-A-R-D-C-L-A-C-K takes their place. We assumed that the watch was made in London in 1607 since they are stamped on the watch. The watch ran up until 1970 or so when my grandfather wound it a little too tight. We always assumed that the watch was very valuable and my father kept it in a safe deposit box.
A couple of years ago, the PBS series, Antiques Roadshow, came to Richmond, VA. We decided to take it there to have it appraised and maybe get on TV (what a bunch of rednecks LOL). My father and I stood in line for 5 hours to get to talk to someone inside. The person we talked to told us that the watch was made in the early 1800's. The 1607 number was a model number. The 1800's fits better since there was my g-g-g grandfather with the name Richard around that time. I never could figure out who the watch was made for if it was made in 1607. He said that the watch was made in London since there were not too many watchmakers here at the time. This watch was a gimmick type thing. A cheap watch for it's time. He said it was worth $200-$300. We left the appraisers table rather dejected. My father could not believe the appraiser was right. He figured he was trying to cheat us out of the true value of the watch. He didn't relent until I pointed out that if he was tryin!
g to cheat us out of the watch he would have made an offer.
By the way....The watch now resides in a drawer at my parents house.
My grandfather kept the watch in the glove compartment of his car. He had the right idea along.
