Martha Ann Honeywell

[2] A native either of Lempster, New Hampshire,[3] or of Westchester, New York,[1] Honeywell was born without hands or forearms, and had only three toes on one foot.

Honeywell appeared in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1806 and 1809; Charleston, South Carolina in 1808 and 1834–5; in New York City in 1829,[7] and in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1839.

[12] The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum owns another cutout with the Lord's Prayer[13] as well as a broadside advertising her work.

[16] A group of silhouettes by Honeywell were featured in a 2001 exhibit called "Ordinary Folks, Extraordinary Art" at the Macculloch Hall Historical Museum in Morristown, New Jersey.
