MARIA S. ATWOOD Maria, at aged 11, worked this family record sampler that included her parents and siblings birth dates and a memorial to her little sister Ruthy. It is inscribed at the bottom: Wrought by Maria S. Atwood aged 11 years A D 1829. After she completed it, she added her new baby brother's name, Timothy, but her parents had three more children
that are not included. She either ran out of room, or it was already framed, or she just got tired of fooling with
it. She was about twenty years old when her last sibling arrived.
