I love this! I blogged about my 2nd great grandmother's genealogy sampler at From Maine to Kentucky last November.
I opened your posting as I am always interested in samplers and it is marvellous to see such a good example of such an age. But thrre was another surpirse - my maiden name was Susan Weston! My Weston ancestors came from the English Midlands and as far as I know there are no American connections.
Ooh! I love these old samplers. Like Elizabeth, I also blogged about my maternal grandmother's samplers (one embroidery; one crochet stitches) on Feb. 24, 2011 at Family Archaeologist. http://familyarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2011/02/dress-designer-extraordinaire.html
The one you display here is a beauty!

I, too, thought this was very cool. It makes me want to create a sampler, though I'm not sure what I would do with it. Susan, any hint that you are related to the Westons featured here?
