<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 279472, member: 59&quot;]I went looking on Ancestry yesterday and did find a Mary E and Sarah A Booth, daughters of Joel and America Booth, born in Virginia in 1878 and 1883, respectively. There was also a set of Booth sisters born in England, although I discounted them, since this sampler is very much in the American style and was found in New Jersey.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without a date on the sampler, we are really dependent on the materials as an indicator of age. And not having studied such things, I have no way of knowing whether those girls are the right ones or not. And prior to the 1880 Census, there is no way to easily search for siblings, since the forms did not ask for relationships within a household.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless Hemster can uncover additional family history on this estate, I&#039;m not optimistic on connecting this sampler to a larger specific family.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
