I am finally admitting I will never get to any of this stuff so to make my life easier I am passing things on.
I came across this block in a bag of miscellanous blocks.
I googled the name. Couldn't really find anything on her but her daughter Sadie was born in 1903 died in 2000 . Looks like all there is left is neices and nephews scattered around the country.
I wonder how old the block actually is,why it was made . It is in very poor shape. If there are any Seabourn's out there interested in this block PM me.
I always feel bad for these orphan blocks , probably why I ended up with it in the first place. lol

I bought an antique quilt once with signatures and was able to reunite it with a family member. It was a lot of fun tracking them down, this was before the internet.

I have done a quick search , google, and anscestry.com I see no living relatives other than grandneices and nephews scattered and that was back in 2000 when her daughter died.
It would be nice if one turned up but that is about all the searching I am going to do.
So if anyone else wants to have a go at it , pm me let me know and its all yours.

Looks like it may have been made for a friendship quilt.
