SHENANDOAH VALLEY CRADLE OF OHIO INTEREST - Early 19th century, poplar. Post construction, with heart cutouts. 19.75” high, 25.25” wide, 38” long. According to family tradition, this cradle came west from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with Jacob and Anna Hamman to their new home in Trumbull County, Ohio. (Johann) Jacob (1750-1824) was born in Germany but came to America with his family when he was young. In 1824, he married Anna Hottel (1757-1834) in Mt Olive, Shenandoah County, Virginia. The couple settled in Mt. Jackson, where they had at least eleven children. About the turn of the 19th century, the family migrated west to North Bristol in Bristol Township. The cradle descended in the family until purchased by the current owners. Provenance: a northeast Ohio collection; from the original Hamman family home in Bristol Township, Trumbull County, Ohio.
