Sophia Bowles Born In Horsmonden 1822

A Memory of Horsmonden.

I live in the USA and have a sampler that I believe was made by Sophia Bowles who was born in Horsmonden October 29, 1822. The sampler shows the exact same date.
I just thought I would share this beautiful work that she made when she was 13.
She married George Botten in 1842. If anyone in Horsmonden has any more information about her, I would be most appreciative. It is a mystery to me how her sampler ended up passed down in my family in the US, since I am not a descendant (that I know of).
