Mary Ann McCosh (The Titball / McCosh Connection) Washington County, PA 1834- Price Upon Request
Mary Ann McCosh (The Titball / McCosh Connection) Washington County, PA 1834 Samplers from Mary Tidball's school have a distinct graphic look and are highly sought after by sampler collectors. For many years it was thought that Mary Tidball married name was Mary McCosh and she continued teaching. In fact, Mary Ann McCosh was born in 1821 to Samuel and Elisabeth McCosh and attended the Mary Titball's school where she stitched this sampler at age 13 and at age 17 she was teaching at her own school using almost identical motifs and layout as this sampler. One of the known samplers taught at Mary Ann McCosh’s school was worked by her next door neighbor Abigail Higbee in 1838 and is almost identical to this one. Silk on linen; 21 ¾” x 23 7/8” framed, 17 3/8” x 21 ½” sight. Stephen & Carol Huber Old Saybrook, CT 860-388-6809 Hubers@AntiqueSamplers.com www.antiquesamplers.com/
