1888 Ocean County Quilt, 504 signatures, Good Luck and Forked River Churches
I found a redwork quilt that was presented to "Rev. James B. Dare by the Ladies of the Good Luck and Forked River M.E.Churches, Christmas 1888"
On it are 504 individuals -- most in families-- signed, then embroidered their names. This includes several Potters.
I am a genealogist, you can check my postings over the years, but I am also a linen dealer. I wish this were my family, but it's not.
I am a hobbiest/linen dealer. I am going to auction it on ebay within the next week under Doverhilldiva.
I'm sorry if you take this as commercialism, but I surely would want someone to post this if it contained my ancestors.
I will list the last names here. If you want all the names and pictures, please email me at [email protected]. I may have mispelled some of the names as they are in cursive.
