A family register. Names of 9 children are stitched with the 10th written. Across the bottom a two story house with two chimneys, with another house on the L. A large basket of flowers on the L side. A few tree motifs. Zig zag border all four sides. (Deaths after 1843 and one birth in 1849 are hand written on this sampler, so most likely the only girl to survive, Harriet, stitched this sampler.)
