If you descended from the above couple, I recently saw something that might interest you.
At an antique show in Ft. Worth, Texas, I saw a sampler containing the names and dates of
the couple above and their children; It included these dates: Aaron Cadwell (10/30/1768)
and Chloe Ford (2/13/1771) and children: Jamin (10/15/96), Chloe (8/26/97), Alden
(5/27/99), Melirra (5/22/1802), Claranda (7/1/03), Fedelia (4/22/97), and Sarah (2/9/13).
The antique dealer who had this sampler was Harper Antiuqes, Houston, Texas (I think).
Their card has a home phone number 281-487-1932, a cell phone 832-798-2630, and an email
address: harperantq(a)aol.com.
The sampler was priced at something like $700. It was in pretty good condition for
something that is almost 200 years old. There were no images, only the lettering giving
the above information.
As someone interested in genealogy and antiques, I would just like to see this get into
the hands of family.
By the way, for those who may not be familiar with samplers, let me explain. In the 18th
and 19th centuries girls learned to sew by embroidering onto pieces of cloth. Samplers
can contain pictures and lettering. The item described above contains only letters.
