The needlework sampler illustrated here appears to relate to some Quaker needlework samplers of the Delaware Valley in its arrangement and choice of text.

While little genealogical information survives with this sampler, the marriage on 24 February 1824 of Hannah Attmore to Isaac Tatem in Woodbury, Nassau County, Long Island is listed in Hinshaw, Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, (New York, 1938, 1994), Vol. 3, p. 171. According to this source, Hannah Attmore died either 5 or 8 January 1868.
