The Fox Sampler

The photograph on this page was provided by Joleen Streit, a descendant of Nathaniel and Kitturah [McFarland] Fox. Joleen has kindly sent the following information about this sampler:

This is the Fox Sampler that my mother has. I believe that it was done between 1833 & 1836. The first 2½ lines are the upper case alphabet. Then it says:

"Nathaniel Fox Was Born June 1, 1805
Kitturah Fox Was Born June 10, 1812
James M. Fox Was Born July 4, 1831
John McF Fox Was Born May 4, 1833"
The last 2 lines are the lower case alphabet. It is signed NFK (don't know who this is. Possibly a relative of Nathaniel's mother? [Mary Carver King]

Interestingly enough, the text on the sampler seems to follow word for word some transcribed records listing Fox family births and deaths. These can be seen in the Paperwork section.
