- Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts, Collection: Americas, Textiles and Fashion Arts. Mourning Embroidery, by Mary Wright (1784-1853), Albany, New York, 1803. Silk satin embroidered with silk, graphite, in a gilt frame. The object depicts two tombs, inscribed as: Mrs. Anna Gazley / Died 5th Oct. 1798 / Aged 72 Ys 10 Mos & 26 Days; and Jonathan Titus Heartt / Died 19th June 1792 / Age 1 year 16 Days. Bequest of Robert and Mary Lou Sutter to the MFA. (website: https://collections.mfa.org/objects/315721) [This is believed to be Anna (nee Ward) Gazlay, wife of John Gazlay (1722-1811); and Jonathan Titus Heartt, eldest son of Phillip Heart and Deidamia Gazlay (daughter of John Gazlay and Anna Ward). Anna’s constructed birth date would be 9 November 1725, which is close to the 15 November 1725 found in another record; and Jonathan’s constructed birth date would be 3 June 1791, which agrees with other records. The death dates and ages on the embroidery are considered to be more accurate than other records since the embroidery was created only a few years after the deaths of Anna and Jonathan.]
