He was the brother of Colonel Joseph, a distinguished citizen and the father of Major Edward Payson Williams , an officer of the Revolutionary Army. -I bought this sampler 20 years ago from M. Finkle & Daughter paid about 3.000.00 for it .. Great condition some stains (see pics ) properly framed in a early 19thc tiger maple frame well preserved as they do to all their outstanding samplers ..
