Fanny Hancock's father, Ebenezer Hancock,
was cousin to the famous John Hancock. Born in 1785, Fanny sewed
her sampler at age 11. She married Nathaniel Parker of Boston
in 1803, and died in 1834. The colors on the back side of her
sampler retained much of their original brilliance, and are reproduced
here. |
