I am interested in developing information on an English clockmaker
named Rich[ard] Penn who worked between 1737 and 1752

Is the Richard Penn mentioned in the article found by cynthia-ga the
person you are looking for?  (I ask because the article does not
specifically identify him as a clockmaker.)

Land deeded to Penn and his brothers:

I don't believe this is the Richard Penn I am looking for.  I have
purchased a grandfather clock made by Rich (sic) Penn that we have
been able to date between 1735 and 1751.  His occupation as a
clockmaqker in England is not in doubt.  There are several references
to his name as a clock maker.  I am looking for additonal biographical
information on him.

I neglected to add that his probably worked in London as the clock
face carries that identification under his name.

Rich Penn, hmm... can be Richmond Penn, or Richland Penn, or other
such variation.

Just for some trivia, there's an airbrush company in Japan called
Richpen. I doubt there's any relation, but who knows. ;)
