NANCY NURSE 1807 |
|
Nancy Nurse was born to Polly James and
Rogers Nurse in Danvers, Massachusetts, on June 19, 1798. Her
sampler, stitched in 1807 when she was nine years old, was worked
on a green linsey-woolsey ground unique to samplers made in certain
areas of the United States before 1832. It has a blue-green linen
warp, with a yellow-green wool weft, having an overall dark olive
green appearance. The original sampler is in the collection of
the Danvers Historical Society, for whom this kit was created in celebration
of their 100th anniversary. |
