Charlotte stitched a very unusual compartmentalized family record sampler which included her parents, Deacon John White and Charlotte Hapgood, births and marriage and the births of all their children. She followed with a verse, These eyes which now behold this work/ And trace these lines along/ Will soon be clos'd no more to look/ And laid within the tomb/ Wrought by Charlotte White AE 12. The family lived in Acton, MA, just west of Boston. A receipt on the back shows the sampler was conserved mounted and framed by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1965. Complete genealogy accompanies the sampler.

The condition is perfect, strong colors, no holes, thread loss, or stains.

Silk on linen; 17 x 16.5 inches sight, 20 x 19.5 framed.
