In 1797, Matthew Dodworth (c.1752-1830) was listed as a maker of hunters’ knives in West Street (trade mark ‘TEMPLE’). By 1816, he was a pen knife manufacturer in Division Street. He had married Leah Whittles in 1788 and they had three sons: John (1788-1854); Thomas (1790-1876); and Matthew (1793-1878). John and Matthew became cutlers; Thomas left for America in 1826 and became a well-known organiser of New York brass bands. In the 1820s, Matthew Dodworth and his son produced pen, pocket, gardening and hunting knives, and phlemes in the Backfields / Carver Street / Division Street part of the town. Matthew Dodworth, table knife manufacturer of Division Street, died on 12 February 1830, aged 78, and was buried the parish church-yard. His son continued in Division Street and by the late 1840s was running a grocery shop, besides producing spring knives. He employed four men in 1851. He appears to have ceased knife making and shop keeping in the 1860s and was living with relatives in Leavy Greave by 1871. After a fall in the garden there, he died on 10 June 1878, aged 85 (Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 15 June 1878). He was buried in the General Cemetery.
