15. | BRASFIELD, Elzira M. was born on 28 Mar 1815 in Madison, Kentucky, USA (daughter of BRASFIELD, James Ely and MOBERLY, Tabitha); died on 26 Jul 1862 in Seneca, Kansas. Notes:
Hi Michael, While I have the sampler off the wall, I think I will transcribe the back for you. I am no photographer, but I took some pictures of the sampler. I hope they come out. If they are not legible, I will at least transcribe it, but most of it is practicing making the letters. One the back, Marguerite Wallace Kennedy has written: Sampler - done by Elzira M. Brasfield when she was 11 years olf. Born in Madison County, Kentucky, March 28, 1815 Given to daughter - Mary Elizabeth Hocker - Williams Then to her daughter - Louise Marion Williams - Wallace Then to her daughter - Marguerite Wallace - Kennedy Then to her cousin - Nancy Lowrie - Wright in 1971 (great grandaughter of Mary Elizabeth Hocker - Williams) I tried to get some pictures of the back of the sampler also, I don't know how they will turn out. There is some glass on the front of the sampler, every place I put it, I could see myself reflected in the glass. I hope I will have some pictures that don't show my reflection too. I will mail those pictures as soon as I get them developed. Nancy tewright [tewright@cajun.net] 10/17/2001
