Beschreibung:

Needlework Sampler, executed by "Peggy Meloon Aged 12 Years 1797," possibly Portsmouth, New Hampshire, silk threads on a green woven linsey-woolsey ground, with rows of alphabets over a verse "Now cheerful along the gay weed/The daisy and the cowslip appear/The flocks as they carelessly feed/Rejoice in the spring of the year," (minor losses to backing), 17 x 7 in., in a black painted pine frame with gilt liner. A genealogical search records that a girl named Peggy Meloon was born in 1785, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the year that the maker of this sampler was born. Also according to Descendants of Enoch Meloon 1755-1794 by Michael Meloon, "The (Meloon) family in the United States seems to have begun in New Hampshire, then spread slowly to Maine and Massachusetts."
