Re: Cherredary

[Chyral@xxxxxxx]

from Montgomery's "Textiles in America, 1650-1870" (which seems to quote the 
broadside you reference):

CHERRYDERRY (charadary, carridary)

Striped or checked woven cloth of mixed silk and cotton imported from India 
from the late seventeenth century.  In Boston, 1728, a runaway servant wore a 
"narrow striped Cherrederry gown, turned up with a little flowered red and 
white callico, stript homespun quilted petticoat, plain muslin apron"....  
They (cherryderrys) were used for women's dresses and handkerchiefs.
