The sight size or viewing area of the sampler itself measures a bit over 15.5" x 28.5".The four columns represent several generations of the Allen-Austin families. The first two columns the Allen and Austin grandparents; columns three and four two Austin brothers and their families. The first column records the births of Amos and Hannah Allen in 1739 and 1750 respectively. Their daughter, Sarah or Sally Allen, is recorded in "column four" as the wife of Eli Austin. From Sturbridge MA originally, Amos Allen is listed as a veteran of the Revolutionay War buried in Orange County Vermont. The second column records the births of (Col.) Seth and Hannah (Smith) Austin in 1748 and 1754 respectively. They were married in 1770 and were parents to fifteen children including sons Samuel Austin (column 3) and Eli Austin (column 4). Seth Austin died in 1819 and is memorialized on the sampler by a depiction of a tombstone and willow tree. He is buried in Buzzel Cemetery in Tunbridge VT as is his wife Hannah who died in 1848. Col.
