Note: An old handwritten note inside the lid records that "This chest was brought from England by the Pierpont family who came to America in 1640. It was in the family of Ebenezer Pierpont, who was the son of Samuel Pierpont, eldest son of Joseph Pierpont, the first of the name that settled in North Haven. Said Joseph was one of the sons of Reverend James Pierpont of New Haven. This chest was given by Ebenezer Pierpont to Rufus Pierpont, son of his cousin Daniel Pierpont in 1854, with a request that it be kept in the Pierpont family..."
