LOUDOUN CO., VIRGINIA QUAKER NEEDLEWORK SAMPLER, silk on linen, first line with names "Benjamin Bradfield" and "Rachel Bradfield" followed by numbers, below with five alphabet rows, center right signed "Hannah Bradfield 6th mo 17th 1813", lower line with a series of initials that reads "TSB JB IB SB UB AB". Housed under glass in a later walnut frame with framer's label to back for Frame Outlet of Mentor, OH. Dated 1813. 15" x 7 1/2" sight, 19 1/4" x 11 3/4" OA.
Catalogue Note: Identified as Hannah Bradfield who was born on January 27, 1796 presumably in Loudoun Co., VA to Quaker parents Benjamin Bradfield (1763-1830) and Rachel Smith (1769-1848), their names featured at the top of the sampler. Her parents married on May 14, 1789 at Buckingham Meeting in Bucks Co., PA and, then, removed from Pennsylvania to Virginia around 1795. The family attended the Goose Creek Monthly Meeting once they were established in Loudoun Co. The couple had seven total children, and Hannah's siblings were Thomas, John, Jonathan, Uri (Uree), and Anna, whose initials are listed at the bottom of the sampler.
Unfortunately, Hannah died on October 14, 1815, only a couple of years after this sampler was completed. Her parents and her surviving siblings left Northern Virginia some time prior to 1828, as Goose Creek Monthly Meeting records show. The family moved to Indiana, where Benjamin died interstate, and they were granted a certificate to White Water (Whitewater) Monthly Meeting.

Condition

Excellent visual condition with light toning to linen, some light fading/fugitive color to silk, frame with some wear and surface scratches, a crack to proper lower right and a couple of chips to proper lower left. Not examined out of frame.
