Also called Bevin Brothers was founded by brothers William Bevin,Chauncey Bevin, and Abner Bevin in 1832 in East Hampton, Connecticut. Later joined by a fourth brother, Philo Bevin, Bevin Brothers continued to grow against the competition from nearly thirty other bell companies at different times. By the mid 1800s Bevin Brothers had grown to become the largest of the bell companies in East Hampton. Producing sleigh bells, house bells, cow bells, sheep bells, door bells, and ship's bells. Flourishing into the twentieth century, the factories were heavily devastated by The Great Depression. Today, Bevin Brothers is the only remaining bell factory in East Hampton still producing the same goods it did a century ago.
