The following quote is from "Samplings, Antique sampplers and silk embroideries from M. Finkel & Daughter" at www.samplings.com/samplers. The sampler sold for $1950 in late March, 2000, to an unknown buyer.
"On May 16, 1765 Charlott Bridgham was born to Dr. Joseph and Martha (Bucklin) Bridgham of the Bristol County town of Rehobeth. Her charming little sampler, worked when she was 9 years old, includes an alphabet, numerical progression and an unusual bit of verse which seems to read, "If woman will not be inclined to seek/the _____improvement of her mind I tell/ you Charlott it is true parrots/ can talk as well as you."
"Three hillocks appear along the botton with random letters and numbers: this sampler may have been a practice piece for a more developed sampler yet to come and it is this serendipity which contributes much to its appeal. Charlott worked her "9" backwards consistently, adding to the youthful nature of this sampler.
"Charlott married Cyrus Martin of Rehobeth on May 12, 1785 and their six children were born between 1786 and 1810. Charlott died on January 20, 1841 at age 75. "
[NF0107] IGI Batch# A184634 lists Charlotte as a "Bridgeham".
