Brandywind Deleware - Baylis family -  from Huber

Rebecca Ann Baylis
Needlework Sampler
Brandywine Hundred, DE 1835

This graphic pleasing sampler features a central basket of flowers, below a verse by James Montgomery (1771-1854) of Scotland and above an inscription: Rebecca Ann Baylis/ March tenth/ 1835 (the 3 is missing a few stitches). The border consists of several large flowering motifs. The overall effect is colorful, graphic and appealing.

Rebecca (1815-1851) was born to Maryland native John Booker Baylis and New Jersey-born Margaret Storms. They resided on a farm in New Castle, DE where they had ten children. In 1839 Rebecca married a farmer George Thomas Cartmell and they had two children.
