The bodice of a mantua was unboned, and the overskirt was left open on front, to show a decorative petticoat. (17th to mid 18th centuries) More accomplished than a seamstress, a mantua maker was a woman who both sewed and designed women's clothing.

I am looking for information on the ancestry of Juliana Britton/Brittain. 1. Juliana (1806-1886) married Abraham Moore, 7 Feb 1835, in Hunterdon Co., NJ. The information that I have indicates the following: Her parents were: 2. Nathaniel Britton, b. 18 May 1783, d. 24 Aug 1867; married Charity Bellis, 17 Apr 1803 in Rowland Mills, NJ. Nathaniel was the son of John Brittain and Hannah Opdyke. 3. Charity was b. 15 Nov 1779, and d. 9 Jun 1872. Charity was the daughter of Johann Adam Bellis and Mary Rockefeller. 4. John Brittain, b. c1761, d. 27 Dec 1822; m. Hannah Opdyke on 2 Jun 1781. John was the son of Nathaniel Britton and Thisba Anderson. 5. Hannah was b. c1760 and d. 20 Nov 1820. Hannah was the daughter of Joshua Opdycke and Ann Green. 8. Nathaniel Britton, b. c1725, d. 3 Feb 1803; m. Thisba Anderson.Nathaniel was the son of John Brittain and Elizabeth _________. 9. Thisba Anderson, b. 11 Oct 1740 in Hopewell Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ, d. aft. 1803. She was the daughter of Cornelius Anderson and Catherine Runyon. 16. John Brittain died in 1754 in Monmouth Co., NJ. I assume that this line ultimately connects with the Britton family of Staten Island; but I have been unable to make the connection. I would like to hear from others interested in the Britton/Brittain line with additions or corrections of the information above. Jesse T. Wallace 1636 6th Ave. SW, Unit #3 Rochester, MN 55902

Several of us are looking for the parents of John Bennett b. ~1775, who married Sarah Wolcott [1779-1852]. Found this and wonder if anyone has something on the Bennetts mentioned. James Morris was a private in the Monmouth Militia when captured in the skirmish at Atlantic Highlands in 1777. He remained a prisoner for fifteen months. He was married on February 2, 1781, to Lydia Patterson in the house of her father, John, at Middletown. Her sister Deborah was married at the same time to William BENNET, Sr. Jacob Davis, a Baptist minister, performed the dual ceremony. James Morris died in 1820, the son of Samuel and Hester (Patterson) Morris (SHGM 4:54). -- joe

Sounds like you know all about sewing Joyce. My late wife was a very good seamstress, making lots of clothes for her grandchildren. I could sew a straight line if I had to. What family surnames are you following? Ken on the California Shores (almost).

I was wondering that same thing. What is a Mantua Maker? Debbie

Joyce, My dictionary states: mantua, a mantle influenced by Mantua, Italy, a loose mantle or loose gown or cloak formerly worn by women. So she was a maker of gowns or cloaks, wouldn't you say?

I think someone said quite a while back on one of the lists that it is a cape maker. Everyone needed a cape in those days. Must have been a good business and a lot of people were in it.

They were probably the long cloaks made like a stole with arm holes. No sleeves just a place to put your arms through. I made some of them for the Allaire Village Auxiliary many years ago. You measure from finger tip to finger tip. Line the fabric. for warmth. Put the fabric around the wearers neck and shoulders like a stole, where the fabric meets under the arms you sew it (Just a few stitches to hold it on the wearer not a side seam) together forming sides, but leaving armholes. The front was closed with "frogs" those cloth fasteners that remind me of oriental clothing. The ones I made were only one fabric width wide. The children's were 1/2 width wide. In 1860 fabric was narrower on the bolt (approx. 30" wide). Today it is about 45" with the fall 2000 fabrics coming out in 42" widths. Joyce at the Jersey Shore who loves to work with old fabric.
