Also on the sampler has the name "Chatham" and "Nov. 8". I'm assuming it means Chatham Mass. The sampler was found in Meriden Connecticut by my father in the early 1980s when he was cleaning out his paint and picture framing store. It was tucked in a corner in the attic. I'm on a mission to find out information on this person for him. I've also posted this on the Hurlbut and Gast surname boards. Anyone with perhaps any information, please post! Thank you.
