In the US, Mary Dixon Kies received a patent for weaving straw in 1806 with silk and thread. Her innovation helped provide a much-needed boost to the domestic bonnet-making industry and purportedly garnered the praise of First Lady Dolley Madison herself.

In spite of this success, Kies herself did not profit well from her invention and died penniless in 1837. To add insult to injury, the patent document itself had been destroyed a year earlier in the Great Patent Fire of 1836.
