• Notes

  Lady Ann Millington's chest: Another early pattern of chest often seen in this country is shown in Figure 10. The panels, which are four in number, are decorated in lozenge tracings in scratch carving. The top rail is in lunette design and the edges of the stiles are nicked. The tradition which attaches to this chest is that its owner, Lady Anne Millington, a daughter of Lord Millington, came to this country in pursuit of her lover, a British army officer. Failing to find him, she taught school at Greenwich, Connecticut, and married Lieutenant Gershom Lockwood. The chest is said to have been sent to her by her parents in 1660, filled with "half a bushel of guineas and many fine silk dresses." The chest now has a pine top which is not the original. It is in the possession of Professor H. B. Ferris, of New Haven, Connecticut, a lineal descendant of Gershom Lockwood and Lady Anne Millington, as is also the writer. "A carved chest £1," at Plymouth in 1657, is one of the few references to carving found in the inventories; but as description of any kind is generally lacking, carved chests were probably by no means as scarce as these records would make it appear.
