Elizabeth Lindy, Mrs. Armstrong's School, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 1802
Leah Galligher, the twin sister of Rachel Armstrong is credited with establishing the regional characteristics of the
body of work known as the 
Susquehanna Valley Samplers that were produced in Lancaster, York, and Dauphine counties
between 1797 and 1838.
As they were twins and most likely attended school together, and both became teachers and schoolmistresses, 
 they taught in the same format, however fewer pieces from the Armstrong School are known.
