P. Whitin and Sons
Firm founded in 1809, when Paul Whitin (1767-1831), in partnership with James Fletcher and others, turned his scythe & hoe manufactory in Whitinsville, Mass. into a cotton mill. In 1826 he bought out the interest of his partners and went into business with his sons, Paul Whitin, Jr. (1800-1884) and John Crane Whitin (1807-1882) under the name of Paul Whitin & Sons. Attached to the mill was a machine shop where John C. Whitin began experiments in the construction of improved machines for use in cotton manufacture.
