Benjamin Mendenhall's Money Box

After talking with a newly found distant cousin, I realized I have never made a post about Benjamin Mendenhall's money box!

Benjamin Mendenhall (1662-1740) immigrated from England around 1682 with his 3 siblings- you can read more about that here-

(Sorry, I'm blogging on my phone so it doesnt have the option to add the direct link to a website) 

So, Benjamin Mendenhall owned this money box, which has lasted through the years! The artifact now resides with Chester County, Pennsylvania, which is where he had lived. 

You can read more about the box and its transfer to Chester County in 2019 here-
