William\u00e2\u0080\u0099s son Jonathan established the Connecticut branch of the family around Stonington later in the seventeenth century. Many of his male descendents gained comfortable prosperity as merchants and businessmen, while their wives and daughters led full lives as mothers of the large families in which education and refinement were encouraged . . . . The long succession of Jonathans, Samuels, Catherines, Esters, Marys, and Sarahs makes it rather difficult to set in order the generations and their contributions to the collection.\u00e2\u0080\u009d The exact maker of this \u00e2\u0080\u009cNine-patch\u00e2\u0080\u009d quilt is unidentified, but it was probably made by one or more members of the Copp household."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "creditLine": [{"label": "Credit Line", "content": "Gift of John Brenton Copp"}], "name": [{"label": "maker", "content": "Copp Family"}], "topic": [{"label": "subject", "content": "Quilting"}], "place": [{"label": "place made", "content": "United States: Connecticut, Stonington"}], "physicalDescription": [{"label": "Physical Description", "content": "fabric, cotton, linen (overall material)"}, {"label": "Physical Description", "content": "thread, linen, cotton (overall material)"}, {"label": "Physical Description", "content": "filling, wool (overall material)"}, {"label": "Measurements", "content": "overall: 101 in x 101 in; 255 cm x 257 cm"}], "dataSource": [{"label": "Data Source", "content": "National Museum of American History"}], "objectType": [{"label": "Object Name", "content": "quilt"}]}}, "url": "edanmdm:nmah_556288", "hash": "578bbab959d419e76042adca83168245e4ec6369", "docSignature": "ee4360e94f1fd270b67e4997cc1674d7", "timestamp": 1664883026, "lastTimeUpdated": 1664882963, "title": "1790 - 1810 Copp Family's \"Nine-patch\" Pieced Quilt"}
