Literature

An Early American Family Record Sampler is a highly collectible category of antique textile. Unlike standard schoolgirl alphabet samplers, these pieces function as permanent, stitched genealogical registers. Created primarily between the late 1700s and mid-1800s, they document births, marriages, and deaths. Because formal government recordkeeping was inconsistent in early America, these detailed domestic textiles were sometimes even accepted by the federal government as legal proof of lineage and vital statistics (such as in Revolutionary War pension files).
