Farnsworth Quilt

[Melinda Talbot]

I am researching a quilt in the collection of the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities that is inscribed with 39 names, including 6 Farnsworths: Martha, Mrs. Samuel, Mary, Luther, Olive, and Mary Ann.  We believe the quilt was made in Brookline, NH and it is dated 1848 and 1849.  Do any of you know anything about these people and the relationships between them?  

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,
