Maureen, From what I remember my mother saying was that it was family and friends, that either lived in Egypt or in the Effingham ,Bulloch area. Of course, the Dutton's, Foys, Dashers, Biddenback, Mingledorff, Arden's,West's,Trowell, Hunter, Everett, Ambrose, Brinson,were all family related. I think the names of the ministers was quite interesting. Then she has 3 colonels listed. I know the name Powell was a doctor in Effingham Co., not sure if the one one the quilt is the same one. A lot of the other names I remember as a child going to Egypt. We use to take the train from the old station (now the visitors center) to Egypt. I spent many a summer there at the William Henry Jackson Foy home, the big one across from where the old train station & the store was. It is the one that now has the station in the side yard. Riding the school bus when their son Jack or William Edward would go pick up the children. Attending Sunday School at the Elam Baptist Church. Just thought I might stir some memories of some of those folks now gone. Like I mentioned to Joni the quilt is made of muslin and in real good condition, my Mom kept it wrapped and in a chest. If you have seen any of the Red work that is now coming back it remind me of that. Mother use to get it out and spread on the bed and tell me about the people she remembered. Guess I just get homesick once in awhile. Jackie in CA.
