      You can plainly see that she stitched Tottington......

      Like maybe take your shoe off and pound it on the table......didn't anybody ever notice it said Tottington...!!!

      The following story is about William Tottington Rudd's sister:

      13 year old, Ann Tottington Rudd, daughter of an Alexandria, DC, shopkeeper, recalled George Washington's career on her 1817 sampler. Her sampler is noted in several books and magazines regarding early needlework, however, her name was listed as Ann "Torrington" Rudd even though you can clearly see that she had stitched "Tottington". Her sampler is shown at The Lyceum - Alexandria's History Museum with the following wording:
