Very interesting design!
ReplyDeleteI am a genealogist who quilts a little. These signature quilts dated prior to 1850 are an invaluable record of women from that time. Prior to 1850, the census only named heads of households so that a woman who died prior to 1850 might leave no record of her identity. Mrs. Catherine Allen is likely, in 1850, to be the 26 year old wife of Henry Allen. She had four children by then. Hannah L. Robins cannot be identified for sure in 1850. There is a ten year old Hannah L. Robbins in the county, but she is much too young to the be creator of the 1842 block. Her mother could be the creator, but the woman in her household is named Ann S. Robins. It is possible that Hannah L. Robins was deceased by 1850, and her husband had remarried. Miss Annelinga Fish is missing in 1850. She either died or married by 1850.
