[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 3267174, member: 5066"]Well, that is in some dispute.:oops: At Bowdoin College in Maine, which happens to have 4 pieces of Thomas Dennis furniture that descended directly from the Dennis family (incredible!) and donated to the college by Ray Dennis, there is this box attributed to William Searle........... The feet may be, may not be original to this box...... KILLER box BTW Considering that Dennis & Searle apprenticed as joiners in Devon, came to America at aprox. the same time, that Dennis married Searle's widow and inherited Searle's workshop & TOOLS! It is often difficult to tell just who built what.:confused::eek: Bowdoin Box attrib William Searle C. 1665 descended in Dennis Family Click to enlarge [ATTACH=full]298007[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
