A post written by Malcolm Douglas in this Mudcat thread thread.cfm?threadid=74217&messages=22 "Origins: 'Johnson Johnson is my name' A MYSTERY!" led me to this example of a sampler that was embroidered by a 15 year old English girl in 1799:


"Mary Hornby his my/ Name and england is/ My Nation Eirsby is/ My dwelling place/ and heaven his my/ Expectation AP 19/ age/ 15/ 1799/ finis/ hd work at Spridlington school"
-Mary Hornby, Spridlington School, Eirsby, England, 1799
