Luther Litchfield, b 1778 - d 1856 is a strong candidate based on the family history where he's labeled as a carpenter and his estate inventory with many carpenter tools listed. Luther was born, worked and died in Scituate, MA which fits with many of his planes being found in the general area. His father was Lot Litchfield.

(The presentation of visually based elements (scale imprints, scale drawings, etc.) is a challenge, especially when moving from the printed page to the realm of an electronic medium. For reference, the original GAWP 5, CAWP, BARS and SOJ publications had pages which were 8-1/2" in width.)
