Needlework memorial to Joseph (c1739-1808)& Elizabeth Sprague, wrought c. 1808
The September 2008 issue of ANTIQUES magazine on p. 17 pictures in an advertisement a memorial needleworkto Joseph Sprague (c.1739-15 Feb. 1808) & Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague his wife (c.1745-2 May 1807), probably of Massachusetts. The needlework was wrought by Eliza Sprague Stearns c. 1808 in Boston, Massachusetts.
This fine needlework should be made known to the Sprague family. I am scanning it in case any of the descendants might like a copy, either by email or by postal mail. Someone in the family ought to have it--it is too good to be missed by the family. It may not have extensive genealogy value, but it certainly does have a whole lot of family and historic value.

If it were a needlework of a Pease family member, I'd certainly want someone to do the same for me.
