Benjamin Tyler

Benjamin Tyler Henry was born in Claremont, New Hampshire back in 1821.  He worked as an apprentice at the Robins & Lawrence Arms Company of Windsor, Vermont.  While working he met Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson.  Horace and Daniel started their own business which you know as Smith & Wesson. 

One of the new investors in the company was Oliver Winchester.  Of course, he would go onto open the Winchester Company.  Both of those are still in business to this day.  In 1860, he had moved up the ladder to became plant superintendent.  By 1866, he left the Winchester Repeating Arms Company where he continued to work as an individual gunsmith until his death in 1898.

What you may not know about Benjamin is while he worked for Winchester, he applied for a patent for the very first reliable lever-action repeating rifle, he Henry rifle.
