LeFusil, mon ami, the records don't exist. I can post the names of maybe 6 employees of Reilly...based on court cases and testimony, people who provided information on the firm at the world fairs, etc. There's nothing left...except that pesky 1880 census where E.M. Reilly said he employed 300 people.

I've looked at the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers. There was one book which claimed J.C. Reilly joined in 1825. The site list, however, is difficult to manipulate; people who were prominent in gun making are not listed, or listed very late. I wrote to the Company asking for confirmation and information. Never received anything back.
