Early 19th century

Connecticut Church Record Abstracts document the 1805 baptism of a Miranda Brockaway in 1805 at the Ellington Congregational Church, where her father Diodate Brockaway (1776-1849) served as pastor. Miranda died in 1816, so her sister Jane (1814-1847) likely finished the sampler later.
