Sampler by Mary Rebecca Marsh

The bottom half of Mary Rebecca Marsh's sampler is almost identical to a sampler worked by Eliza Dulaney Kemble of Clarksburg, Virginia (now West Virginia). In the top half, Mary replaced the popular sampler verse, "Jesus Permit Thy Gracious Name to Stand" seen on Miss Kemble's sampler, with four sets of alphabets. Mary Rebecca Marsh was the daughter of Eli and Drusilla T. Israel Marsh of Harrison County, Virginia. Although it is not known if Mary was a practicing Jew, her mother's family was of Jewish descent.
