| Description: | This wool doublecloth coverlet was possibly handwoven in Scotland. William Landsborough (1777-1854) emigrated to Ontario in 1834, along with his wife, Jane Grieve Landsborough (1786-1873), and their nine children. Family history states that they brought the coverlet with them. Their great-granddaughter Mary Belle Clark Schock (1895-1970) brought it to Spokane. |
