16th - 17th Century Colonial Pilgrim (??) Blanket Chest from East Coast

Trying to identify a trunk that I have from my late father.  We grew up in Northwest New Jersey, and my father was an avid collector of 16th – 18th century antiques – our homes were featured in Colonial Homes and other magazines (this was 30 years ago).  I have a trunk that I am trying to identify.  I have photos of the trunk, see attached.  If you have the time, can you assist me in the identification of this trunk?
