Mary Kennerly's sampler marked "Lynchburg" is the earliest of a group of samplers worked in Lynchburg, Virginia, between 1815 and 1833, and later in Tennessee. Mary's younger sister Susannah worked an almost identical sampler in 1819. The sisters were the daughters of Joseph and Sally Christian Kennerly. Joseph Kennerly owned a tobacco warehouse and land across the James River from Lynchburg in Amherst County.
