The silhouette is executed on a heavier stock paper not typical of the first quarter 19th century. It is possible that the piece is executed later than 1802.Suzanna Hart Shelby daughter of of Capt. Nathaniel Hart one of the first settlers in Kentucky was married to Isaac Shelby. A soldier fighting in the American Revolutionary War and a statesman serving as Kentucky's first govenor Shelby first came to Kentucky in 1774 and became a prominent member of early Kentucky society. He was a memeber of the constitutional conventions which led to Kentucky's statehood and was a trustee of Transylvania Seminary Kentucky's first college. Shelby's military record was well known. He fought in the Revolutionary War at the famous Battle of King's Mountain an expedition over the Appalachian Mountains against the British forces in North Carolina. Shelby was called to service again for the War of 1812 where he led a regiment to the rescue of Kentucky troops during the Battle of the Thames near Detroit. The battle became so famous for Shelby that people from Michigan Ohio and Kentucky stood roadside to catch sight of the hero upon his return to Kentucky. Following the Revolutionary war Shelby relocated to Kentucky on lands given to him for his military service and became involved in Kentucky's transition from a county of Virginia to an independent state. As a war hero he was popular with the citizens; the state electoral college unanimously elected him governor in 1792. He secured the state from Indian attacks and organized Kentucky's first government. After his offical retirement from politics in 1816 Shelby was asked to serve as Secretary of War by President Monroe but he declined. In 1817 he was commissioned by Andrew Jackson to negotiate with the Chickasaw Indians for purchase of lands west of the Tennessee River. Shelby remained active in political affairs until his death at his home Traveller's Rest Lincoln County in 1826.

  1791 DATED SAMPLER, LEXINGTON KYKentucky 18th c. Needlework Sampler, signed Isabella McDowell, Lexington, May 7th, 1791. Alphabet and numeral sampler, executed in green, gold, brown, and pink silk thread on linen, using a variety of stitches including cross, queen, eyelet and Irish stitch, over a verse: "honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon/the land which the lord thy god giveth thee". Signed beneath the verse "Issabella McDowell/born the 11th of August 1781/ worked in Lexington, May 7th, 1791". Note: Updated research since this Southern sampler was sold in 2007 at Leland Little Auctions indicates this is one of the earliest known Kentucky samplers. Isabella McDowell was the daughter of Col.

McDowell taken June 21, 1800 as part of a land survey dispute in which he testified "I settled at the plantation where I now live in fall of the year 1784," which would place the family in Lexington at the time the sampler was made (a copy is available on request).
