In an article about a 1780 POW camp in Pennsylvania I found this reference to British prisoners perhaps making lace. Do you think it was the soldiers or was it female members of their family which accompanied them that made the lace? Or both...
That survey also turned up 20 coins and 605 straight pins that may have been used by prisoners to make lace. This is the link to the article. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/06/field-british-pow-camp/2 058917/ Best Regards, Carol Melton Valley of the Sun Phoenix, AZ.
