Great Willoughby Chest Linked to Queen Elizabeth Gift
The article traces a seven foot tall Willoughby chest and an embroidered tablecloth said to be gifts from Queen Elizabeth to Lady Margaret Willoughby. The artifacts passed through the Raymond Lynde and Griswold families of New England, arriving with Theodore Raymond of Springfield, Mass. The lineage ties back to Col. William Willoughby, navy commissioner 1648–1661, and the chest moved from Block Island to New London in 1704 before reaching the present owner.
