Notes:
Elizabeth Loring was an ancestor of Massachusetts Governor John Andrew, the famed abolitionist who organized the Massachusetts 54th Regiment, the first all-Black regiment of the Civil War. Elizabeth was born July 19, 1774 in Hingham to Abner Loring (1742-1789) and Elizabeth Cushing Loring (1746-1820). She married Thomas Jones (1767-1844) in 1790. Their eldest child, Eliza, married Charles Hersey, and their daughter Eliza Jane Hersey married John Albion Andrew. This sampler was inherited through direct descent to Edith Andrew (1854-1922), daughter of Eliza and John, whose name appears on the label verso. Edith never married.Condition
