Rhoda Biggs, 1772: Worked pocketbook - double form
(5/12/02) - Worked or needlework pocketbooks were popular from 1740 until 1790, with the fashion reaching its peak between 1760 and 1780. Men, as well as women, carried them. Worked pocketbooks were made in two shapes: the single envelop and the double form that folded in the center with equal size divisions on each side. The most popular stitch was the Irish Stitch in a Flame Design, which is the stitch used in Rhoda Biggs' pocketbook.

Rhoda Biggs' pocketbook is in the collection of the Clinton County Historical Society, and we would like to thank Ann Florea Larrick (Rhoda's GGGG Granddaughter) for providing us with the progression of this pocketbook through the family.

Rhoda Casto Biggs (Mrs. Daniel Biggs) was born in 1730 in Salem, New York, the daughter of Elizabeth Abbott Casto and William Casto.

Rhoda Casto Biggs gave the pocketbook to her son, William Biggs (1759 - 6/28/1828) who gave it to his daughter, Charlotte Biggs Athey (5/9/1823 - 3/2/1901) who gave it to her daughter, Nancy Maria Athey Florea (7/19/1841 -12/26/1926) who gave it to her son, Franklin Arthur Florea (1/18/1871 - 9/29/1919) who gave it to his son Alpha M. Florea (3/1/1899 - 9/5/1945) gave it to his daughters: Carolyn Florea Casson (b. 10/25/1926), Ann Florea Larrick (b. 8/19/1929), Elnora Florea Torres (b. 4/1/1934) and Mildred Florea Curry (9/18/1937 - 3/18/2002).
