Rogers: 1850's Hand Sewn Quilt Square of Anna Rogers, ME This
is a beautiful old hand signed quilt square, handmade of early fabrics.
18 different squares were found in Portland Maine, Cumberland County
all with different women's family names handwritten on them. They are
all on our ancestor site. This one has the signature Anna Rogers handwritten
in center, in old early dip pen handwriting from the period. Most likely
there was a quilting bee and each member made their own squares. Some
of the family members are related by same surnames, others may also
be related family members also. For whatever reason, the handmade quilt
was never finished. This square is hand sewn with the utmost care.
Found in Portland, Maine area, which is in Cumberland County. Ancestral
migration made the mailing and movement of ephemera common between
separated family members, although we do strongly feel these quilt
squares to be Portland, Maine related, as they came directly out of
a house in that vicinity. See the 18 quilt squares found on our site
