Stop Press * On-Line Auction Catalogue of Betty Ring's Samplers at Sotheby's

Sotheby's have just launched their on-line catalogue of the auction of Betty Ring's samplers. Click here to visit. P.S. Can anyone please help me - is Nabby a shortened form of a girl's name and if so what is the longer form?

  3. Hi Jacqueline! Nabby is a nickname for Abigail. The oldest daughter of John Adams, the second president of the United States, was named after her mother, Abigail Smith Adams, but was more often called by her nickname, Nabby.
