2 Chest with drawers, Wethersfield, Connecticut, 1675-1700. Oak with
pine. H. 40", W. 48", D. 20". (Courtesy, Historic Deerfield, Inc.; photo,

E. P. Dutton & Co., 1976), p. 167, Dean A. Fales Jr. speculated that the
chest may have descended from Hannah Talcott (1665-1741), who married Major
John Chester at Wethersfield in 1686, to their daughter Sarah. www.historic-deerfield.org |
