NEW ENGLAND, PROBABLY MASSACHUSETTS OR NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEEDLEWORK SAMPLER, silk on green linsey-woolsey, four alphabet rows with a short numeral section segmented by horizontal bands of stitching, below signed "Hannah C. Plummers Sampler Wrought in the / ninth year of her age 1820", lower third unfinished, encompassed by a sawtooth border to three sides. Unframed and currently mounted to a mat with edges glued. Together with an unframed American needlework sampler, black, possibly wool, thread on linen, six alphabet rows above a four-line verse, unsigned and undated. Two pieces total. Plummer dated 1820; other 19th century. Plummer 15 3/4" x 9 3/4" object; other 9 3/4" x 11 1/2" OA.
Catalogue Note: Possibly identified as Hannah C. Plummer (Plumer) who was born on January 22 or 27, 1812 in Beverly, Essex Co., MA to parents Farnham Plumer (1780-1857) and Nancy Sawyer (d.1831). She had eight siblings and three half-siblings, and the family moved from Beverly to Lancaster some time between 1812 and 1814. Hannah married Franklin Woodcock on October 3, 1830. Not much is known about her life, except Hannah died on May 21, 1845.
Another potential candidate is Hannah Plummer (Plumer) who was born on January 3, 1811 in Sandown, Rockingham Co., NH to parents William Plumer (1769-1833) and Sarah Webster (b.c. 1780). It appears Hannah never married and lived with her sister, Mary W. (1818-1884), and her husband, Giles M. Davis (1813-1894), in Sandown throughout the 19th century. It is currently unknown when Hannah died, though she was recorded by the 1870 U.S. Census living with her sister and brother-in-law as well as possibly by the 1880 U.S. Census, which likely mis-identified her as "Plumer Harriett".
