One of Caleb's clocks in the possession of his grandson, Frances W. Hibbard, stated that the case was made of cherry and the works of brass. The clock stood eight feet high and [was] a good time-keeper. He made it in Chester Co. Pennsylvania before he was married. One of Isaac's clocks was in 1936 in the possession of Mrs. Edward T. Biddle of West Chester, Pennsylvania. It has a plate in the dial with the name of Isaac Thomas, Willistown, Pennsylvania. Another of these clocks with Isaac's name on it was bought from Isaac by Amos Garrett Thomas (widow of Mordecai Thomas) grandson of mordecai and lyda Hoopes Thomas and son of Ezra Thomas.
