LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK DATED DOUBLE WEAVE COVERLET, dark blue wool and natural cotton, whole panel, center featuring repeated floral pattern, all four sides with grapevine border and corners with star block, two corners dated "1829", and the other two ends with owner's name, "MARY ANN WIGGINS". Dated 1829. 81" x 92".
Catalogue Note: Parallels a dated 1836 coverlet in the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, accession no. 301344, which was made for Andrew Corsa (1762-1853) and his second wife, Mary Poole. The Corsas were residents of Fordham Manor in Bronx, NY. Susan Rabbit Goody wrote a book on Long Island, NY coverlets and notes the same grapevine border with names in the vine and starburst corner blocks are common features by this yet-to-be-identified weaver. The catalogue entry for the Smithsonian coverlet notes, "Further genealogical research on the inscription names on those coverlets shows that most of the names that are possible to accurately identify are associated with either Suffolk or Nassau Counties on Long Island..."
Though the identity of Mary Ann Wiggins is uncertain, there was a Mary Ann Powell Wiggins (1811-1874) living in Brookhaven, Suffolk Co., NY during the 19th century. She married William S. Wiggins (1809-1879) in 1828, and the couple is buried at Westbury Friends Cemetery in Westbury, Nassau Co., NY.
