This box was most likely a gift from John Kelley (1775-1860) to his twelve-year old granddaughter, Ellen A. Green (1837-1860). Of Quaker heritage, Kelley was born in Berkshire County, Massachusetts and moved to Perinton, Monroe County, New York, where he is listed as a farmer in the 1850 census. His daughter Joanna K. Kelley (1806-1857) married Eri Allen Green (1803-1880) in 1823. Their daughter, Ellen, the recipient of this box, was born in New York but by 1850 was living with her family in Chester, Eaton County, Michigan. There, she married Henry Dow (1837-1864) in 1857 and died just three years later.
