Scituate or Marshfield, Plymouth, Massachusetts, New England, United States, North America
Fairbanks and Trent attribute this form to the Scituate shops founded along the North River by Thomas Little (arr. 1630-d.1672) and others, but the style was also practiced in nearby Marshfield and Duxbury, Massachusetts. (Both Thomas Little and Thomas Little Jr. were dead by 1676.) Forman notes the difficulty of separating the products of the Scituate ad Marshfield shops, given the fact they were geographically close and linked through kinship ties as well.
