Scope and Contents
From the Series:
This series contains several artifacts kept by the Horsford family. The two of the seal molds bear the initials ENH. The remaining molds are apparently family crests. The church to which the key belongs is not identified, but it is likely that of the Shepard Memorial Church (now First Church, Congregational) in Cambridge, MA. The continental currency probably belonged to Benjamin L’Hommedieu and was then passed down through the family as a keepsake.
