4 Hannah T. Bailey, West Newbury, Massachusetts, 1838 An excellent group of samplers, worked in the towns of Newbury, West Newbury and Newburyport in the northeasternmost corner of Massachusetts, share some very appealing characteristics that endured for many decades. For example, samplers from this group that were made in the 1780s feature the same pair of folky parrots on a hilly lawn that Hannah T. Bailey used on this winning little sampler which she worked in 1838. Born on March 5, 1825, Hannah was the youngest child of Daniel and Sarah (Noyes) of West Newbury. As she stated, she was 13 years old when she worked her sampler. Later Hannah married Asa Gage, a stonecutter: they became the parents of at least two children and lived in nearby Haverhill, where she died in 1885.
