Hi Keyboard86,   An old friend has asked me to find some history about a longcase clock he owns.  He believes it may be  signed --- Tom Owen, Llannfordam possibly about 1795.   There seems to be a number of villages in Wales & Shropshire with names beginning Llan......  Was there a Tom (Thomas) in the well-known Owen family about that era?
