Note: Caleb Carter Burroughs (1799-1885) was a cabinet-maker and undertaker in Madison, New Jersey. He was apprenticed at age sixteen for five years and having learned his trade he established his successful business in Madison. This sideboard may well have been the culmination of his apprenticeship.
