INTRODUCTION

In the preparation of this third volume of "Portraits

of the Founders," two aims have been kept in view:

i. The collection of new portraits.

2. An attempt to revise the first two volumes. It

may be said, I think, that I have almost changed my

identity in my attempt to criticize, with the aid of

friends, every picture that appeared in the first two

volumes. Surprisingly few persons take any interest in

the authenticity of a portrait. This is especially true of

ancestor hunters and of publishers, who are very naturally

loth to abandon a portrait that has a personal or a com-

mercial value. Several friends in this country have been

frank and helpful in their criticisms. I have also had

the great advantage of careful study of the portraits

by Mr. C. H. Collins Baker, of the National Gallery in

London. I find myself in agreement with him in almost

every case. The only difference appears to be where

we seem to have had a short period of local conditions

of costume not obtaining in England. The late Cap-

tain Charles Barrington Balfour, of Newton Don, Kelso,

added to his many other accomplishments a love of

costume and art. A few days before his death he sent

me a discriminating criticism of the portraits under

discussion.

The various elements in a picture which tend to con-

vince one of authenticity are rarely of that reliability

691

which we associate, for example, with the formula:

2 + 2=4. A gentleman who possessed a full-length

portrait of his Colonial ancestor and a head of the

ancestor's wife, had her head mounted upon a large

canvas and her body added. But unfortunately her cos-

tume was made of a much later period than that of her

husband, so that they no longer appeared to be man and

wife. An inscription often appears to have been put

upon the canvas after the face was drawn, and the cos-

tume not infrequently gives the lie to the date. The

Myles Standish and the John Eliot have modern inscrip-

tions. The cravat of the Bradstreet has always been

puzzlingly late for the Governor's age at sitting. The

newly discovered picture—apparently an original—has a

more acceptable cravat. The charm and the distress of

portrait study lie in its pitfalls. A chance light on the

canvas may reveal alterations in face or costume which

discredit an attribution of long standing. No attribu-

tion is definitive, however distinguished the critic. Re-

cently I called the attention of an English scholar to

a portrait in his book, the costume of which was evidently

later than the dates of the person said to be depicted.

He wrote me that to give the portrait its proper name

would have deprived him of the use of all the famous

portraits in a well-known private gallery. He had to

accept one false inscription or abandon his book, for

which all the pictures were essential.

When Volumes one and two of the "Portraits of

the Founders" were in preparation, a group of Virginia

portraits gave much uneasiness, because they seemed to

exemplify two tendencies:

692

i. The tendency to push back ascriptions to a genera-

tion earlier than that indicated by the costume.

The earlier the portrait the greater the number of

descendants interested.

2. The tendency to attach two portraits of one person

to two persons—often father and son, because it

is so much more interesting to have two genera-

tions represented by portraits than one.

It will require extreme hardihood to restudy the entire

field of Virginia portraiture, but the time will assuredly

come when some ruthless student will "hew to the line."

The portraits of immediate concern are of a type well

illustrated by the portrait of Charles Montagu, Earl of

Halifax, born in 1661, and dead in 17 15. This portrait

(in the National Portrait Gallery, London) has the

following characteristics

:

1. A fat parted wig falling low before or behind

one shoulder and forked over the other (two curls

usually in sight).

2. A plain stock wound round the throat and hanging

half way to the waist. In the Montagu portrait

it is twisted, as in the portraits of Randolph and

Walley, but usually the ends hang loosely.

3. The coat is thrown open or cut away part waydown the front. Here the coat is held together

about the waist by clasps (see "Henry Corbin"),

but usually large buttons are used (see "Lee").

While the Kneller fashion of dividing one end of the

wig across the shoulder in Queen Anne's time (1702-14)was growing in importance, the coat cuff also became

significant. Although the end of the sleeve was on rare

693

occasions, as in the case of Edmund Waller's portrait

in 1684, turned over instead of being slit, the true cuff

did not come in until about 1702; at first, short and

with buttons, then somewhat longer, with showy braid

extending down from each button. Upper-class Virginia

was painted freely after this fashion, as shown by

portraits labelled "Richard Lee," "Henry Corbin,"

"Edward Dale," "Edward Hill," "Major John Boiling,"

"Edward Jaquelin," and "Sir William Berkeley." Some

of these are already assigned to the period of 1700-20,

but others bear names of persons who reached the age

shown in the portraits years before the Kneller period.

There seems to be no evidence that fashion was slow in

reaching America, nor that fashion originated on this

side of the ocean. The Colonists visited England so

often that we may assume a Virginia gentleman would

not be content with a coat that was out of fashion in

London.

If we could assign the costume depicted in a portrait

to an exact date and could make an accurate estimate

of the age of the person depicted, we should then be

able to say definitely whether the portrait portrays the

person whose name is by tradition associated with it.

One great difficulty, however, is the apparent custom

of representing the features of a person younger than

the sitter is known to be. If we have cases beyond

controversy illustrating this habit of painters, we may

then assume that pictures such as Governor Bradstreet's

and Major Walley's may represent men much older than

would appear from their so-called likenesses. A case in

point is the portrait of Robert May, cook to a number

694

of distinguished Englishmen of his time. His portrait

is prefixed to his work entitled, "The Accomplisht Cook

or the Art and Mystery of Cookery," published in

London. The preface, signed by Mr. May, is dated

1664, and his portrait has near the collar these words:

"Ae[t]atis Suae 71 1660." May must therefore have

approved this portrait as a satisfactory representation

of himself. Now the portrait to any reasonable observer

is that of a man of about the age of forty—not much

more than half his real age. If I had seen the engraved

portrait of a Robert May, apparently aged forty in

1660 (no age recorded), I should have said that it could

not represent a cook named Robert May and known to

be seventy-one in 1660; but the fact that it is a frontis-

piece to his own work, the preface of which he signed,

leaves no other conclusion than that it represents the

author, and has been made by the artist less aged than

we might reasonably expect. If this was a common

habit among artists, it may help to validate such pic-

tures as the Bradstreet and Walley given here, and the

well-known picture of John Boiling, of Virginia.

The use of bands does not necessarily imply the min-

isterial profession. For example, Sir Thomas Street's

portrait, engraved in 1688, a Judge in England, ap-

pears in Granger's "Biographical History of England,"

Volume 6, page 1 17, and Alderman Cornish's picture (he

was executed in 1685) opposite page 129, both with

bands of the conventional sort. A man who bore a

doctor's degree wore bands, and as most men so honored

in America were clergymen, it became natural to asso-

ciate bands with clergymen.

695

Kneller, who influenced so greatly the Virginia group

of portraits, is referred to by Cust as the leader of the

"face-painters." The demand upon his time by sitters

was so insistent and the opportunity to amass a fortune

so at hand, that he employed assistants to add to his

faces (and perhaps lightly sketched figures) the cos-

tumes and backgrounds that were a necessary part of

a court portrait in the age of periwigs. Gilbert Stuart

scorned these accessories to a portrait and often omitted

them, but in Kneller's time they were required. Hence

grew up the Kneller conventional and familiar postures

so easily reproduced by itinerant and mediocre painters

who toured the colonies. They no doubt did these can-

vases in town and carried them in a roll on horseback,

the heads to be added at country houses wherever cus-

tomers could be found. We know that Joseph Badger,

of a somewhat later period in New England, did figures

of men, women, and children with almost identical details

of pose, dress, and foliage. The Kneller pose is char-

acteristic of the Virginia group. The Dale portrait will

be found to be almost identical in pose with the Berkeley,

although much cruder in execution. Both resemble in

the pose of head and hands Jervas's portrait of the

fourth Earl of Orrery in the National Portrait Gallery,

done after 1705. The portraits of Lee and Edward Hill

show identical creases in the coat sleeves, which suggests

the same artist for both, and possibly that he was a

"face-painter," who carried his stock canvases from house

to house.

Portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Dummer, owned

by Paul M. Hamlen, Esq., of Boston, have inscriptions

696

JEREMIAH DUMMER1645-1718

By himself. Signed and dated 1691

(697)

on the back of the lining, which, if genuine, show that

Dummer himself was the artist and 1691 the date.

Mr. Frank W. Bayley has described these pictures in

"Old-Time New England" for July, 1921, and repro-

duces both the pictures and the inscriptions. Mr. Park

and I have examined them and Mr. Bayley has com-

pared the lettering with Dummer's handwriting. There

seems to be little reason to doubt the authenticity of

inscription and date.

Dummer's wig and cravat seem reasonable for 1691,

but these buttonholes on the coat and the presence of a

waistcoat both antedate like details in English pictures.

Dutch portraits show waistcoats. These dated Dummerpictures seem to lessen somewhat the doubt which to

my mind surrounds the Dale (he died about 1695), the

Veeder (dead in 1696), and Thomas Carter (died 1700).

The following note was appended to the Preface of

Volume one when it was sent forth

:

In sifting material for these volumes many portraits

reputed to be of this period have of necessity been re-

jected. Others have been "respited" for discussion. Of

those admitted as Founders, a few still present problems

to the exacting critic. Thomas Smith's coat and wig

seem to belie the date 1691 on the canvas. The style of

wig worn by Berkeley, Corbin, and Lee came into general

use after these men died. Pepys may be studied on the

point. The wig of Bogardus seems a modern retouch-

ing; certainly Dutch dominies did not wear such a wig

in his day (1647). Robert Pike's cuff is a generation

too late, but the canvas was ruthlessly "restored" by

Sinclair in 1882. These are some of the problems that

invite further study.

699

The portraits mentioned above, as well as others, are

here discussed at length, with .a hope that however dis-

appointing the conclusions may be, we shall at least get

a little nearer to the truth.

Recent investigations in the archives of Mexico and

Spain make it increasingly clear that from North Carolina

southward along the east coast to Mexico and northward

along the west coast to San Francisco colonization was

active for a century before the settlement at Jamestown.

Men of education and position were not alone contend-

ing for the mastery of rivers, plains, and forests; they

were writing voluminous reports, keeping diaries, and

even producing plays and poems. How many of these

men can still be made real to our eyes by portraits?

This is a query that can better be answered a generation

from now. Of the early Spanish explorers who may

reasonably be called colonizers and founders of the NewSpain, Juan Ponce de Leon, the companion of Columbus

on his second voyage, and in 15 13 the discoverer of

Florida, comes first to mind. Pedro Menendez de Aviles

(1523—1574) is well known by the portrait drawn by

Jose Camaron, engraved by Francisco de Paula Marti

in 1 79 1, and published in "Retratos de los Espafioles

ilustres con un epitome de sus vidas," Madrid, 1791.1

Menendez founded St. Augustine in 1565, and traces

of his construction are said still to exist. Hernando de

Soto's explorations in 1 539-1 542 are inseparably asso-

ciated with the Mississippi River.

The portraits of two priests—Fray Juan Xuarez and

Fray Juan de Palos—may be discussed together.1 See chart pedigree in "Ensayo cronologico, para la Historia General de la

Florida, 1723," opposite page 150.

JUAN PONCE DE LEON

The portrait of Xuarez, with a book in his left hand,

"etched by H. B. Hall, Morrisania, N. Y., 1870," is

said to be "from the Original Portrait in the Convent

of Tlaltelalco." It is the frontispiece to "Relation of

Alvar Nunez Cabeca de Vaca. Translated from the

Spanish by Buckingham Smith, New York, 1871."

On page 100 of Smith's book he says : "In the Convent

of Tlaltelalco in a gallery of paintings in oil of person-

ages who early came to Mexico, are the portraits here

presented of the Friars, taken from copies obtained for

me by my distinguished friend Jose Fernando Ramirez."

Janvier's "Mexican Guide," 1890, page 199, says of

the College of Santa Cruz, Santiago Tlaltelalco, opened

in 1537: "By a royal order of Charles V., given at

Barcelona May 1, 1543, the present * domed church'

was erected. Nineteen years earlier, the Franciscans had

established here a chapel—one of the numerous founda-

tions of Fray Pedro de Gante—together with a school.

This foundation was materially enlarged by the patron-

age of the first Viceroy, Don Antonio de Mendoza, who

established here the celebrated College of Santa Cruz

for the Indians, with a liberal endowment of landed

estate. The college was opened in 1537 with an attend-

ance of more than one hundred Indian pupils, who were

taught (possibly somewhat more to their amazement

than to their edification) Latin, logic, and philosophy.

The college justified its existence, however, for among

its Indian graduates were several notable men who have

left their impress upon Mexican literature. But as a

race, it is probable that the Indians gave no very ade-

quate return for their training in Latin, logic, and

703

philosophy, for the college declined, and finally, about

the year 1578, expired. Twice it was revived—once

as the College of Buenaventura and San Juan Capistrano,

in the year 1667, to expire early in the ensuing century;

and again under its original title of Santa Cruz, in 1728,

to expire finally in 181 1. Since this latter date the con-

vent and college buildings have been used for a variety

of secular purposes. There is now established here a

military prison. Upon the secularization of the Church

several pictures and some curious ancient images, includ-

ing a life-size equestrian figure of Santiago, were removed

to the Church of Santa Maria de los Angeles, and the

font in which Juan Diego was baptized was placed in

the baptistry of Santa Ana."

The portrait of Palos, also etched by H. B. Hall,

Morrisania, New York, 1871, from a drawing of the

original in the convent of Tlaltelalco, follows page 28

in the Relation of Cabeca de Vaca.

These men accompanied Panfilo de Narvaez on his

perilous expedition in 1528 from the coast of Florida

northward in search of Apalache, and survived unbe-

lievable dangers to reach Mexico, only to join another

expedition to conquer Florida, where they died. Cor-

respondents in Mexico have so far failed to trace the

original portraits of these priests.

Another Spaniard who ventured into the present

United States was Gaspar de Villagra, whose portrait

appears in his "Historia de la Nueva Mexico, Alcala de

Henares," 1610. 1 This is a narrative in verse of Don1 See Ralph E. Twitchell's "The Leading Facts of New Mexico History," 191 1,

Juan de Onate's expedition into the present New Mexico

in 1598 and 1599.

Of the many French explorers and colonizers, in ad-

dition to La Salle and Marquette, few who had to do

with our present United States left portraits. Rene

Goulaine de Laudonniere went out to Florida in 1564,

and built Fort Caroline on the present St. John's River.

In the expedition was an artist, Jacques Le Moyne de

Morgues, sent by the French Government. 1 Having

escaped massacre by the Spaniards at Fort Caroline, the

artist went to England, where he died. His widow sold

his manuscripts and drawings to De Bry, who reproduced

the drawings by engraving in 1591 in Vander Aa's

Voyages. It will be noticed of plate 34, entitled, "First-

born children sacrificed to the chief with solemn cere-

monies," that this sentence is in the description: "This

offering was on one occasion performed in our presence."

The face of the commander which appears in this pic-

ture appears again in plate 32 (a front view), where

the text says "we saw two persons punished in this way";

and it is used again in plate 8, where Laudonniere was

shown a column erected by Ribaud and ornamented with

the arms of the King of France.

There is a full-length, engraved portrait of Laudon-

niere inGuerin's "Les Navigateurs frangais," Paris, 1847,

by Rouargue freres. The face does not very strongly

resemble the portrait by Le Moyne. The De Bry or

Le Moyne pictures show Laudonniere much as he ap-

pears in the engraving by Crispin van de Pass, repro-

tion to Florida under Laudonniere, 1546. Translated from the Latin of De Bry.

the print in the Bibliotheque Nationale. 1

A pioneer of a very different character, Father Isaac

Jogues, S.J., came to New France in 1636 and spent

his life among the Hurons, eventually suffering capture,

torture, and slavery until his escape in August, 1643,

to the Dutch settlements in New Amsterdam. He was

again in service the following year, and in 1646 was a

prisoner of the Mohawks, by whom he was assassinated

October 18, 1646, in a Mohawk village a few miles

west of Troy.

The portrait of Jogues, painted by Donald Guthrie

McNab, and reproduced in the "Jesuit Relations" as a

frontispiece to Volume 23, appears to have had its

origin in the engraving of the Torture of Jesuit Martyrs,

a plate 2in the "Historiae Canadensis seu Novae-Franciae

libri X, Parisiis, 1664," written by Francois Du Creux.

He is at the left of the picture, kneeling between two

savages about to strike him with axes.

The face may be imaginary, but it has often been

used, as in the "Jesuit Relations," Volume 23, and in

Charlevoix's "History of New France" (1866), Vol-

ume 2, page 141, to represent Jogues.

When this work was in its first stages of development

it was thought best to reproduce the face of the sitter

at the expense of the accessories. With this aim in

mind, half a dozen New England portraits were madewithout regard to the original proportion of the can-

might easily be entertained. So it is that these portraits

in their untrimmed proportions are again reproduced at

the end of this volume.

For convenience I have placed in one alphabet all

the names of persons whose portraits at this writing

seem authentic out of the great migration to this country

before the year 1701.

The study of Colonial portraiture owes much to the

late Charles Henry Hart, of Philadelphia, whose writ-

ings and lectures taught us to scrutinize with critical eyes

the faces of the fathers. He had the zeal of a pioneer

reformer and perhaps the assurance that keeps pace

with conviction. His death in 189^ came before Vol-

umes one and two of this work were written. Two friends

whose unflagging interest was centred on these volumes

have also passed away—Barrett Wendell, of Boston, in

1921, and Lawrence Park, of Groton, in 1924. The

circle is now narrowed to Mr. John Hill Morgan, of

Brooklyn; Mr. Thomas B. Clarke, of New York; and

Mr. Frank W. Bayley, of Boston. The modern condi-

tions of life, where distant cities are linked together by

post and telephone, offer no excuse for the old-time

country house conferences. Sitting in Mr. Park's beau-

tiful library at Groton, he and I often wished that a

little group of us could have gathered there, just as

of old Sir William Dugdale, Sir Robert Cotton, and

William Camden are said to have met with HenryFerrers at Baddesley Clinton Hall over their wine and

walnuts, with antiquarian manuscripts and books all

about them. But those days cannot be brought back.

ADDITIONALPORTRAITS

OF THE FOUNDERS

Sir Edmund Andros (1637-1 7 13/4) is represented

by portraits at Hartford and at Providence.

Mr. George S. Godard, of Hartford, writes (see also

Volume 2, page 635) :

"In the portrait by Flagg, the hair is sandy, the sash

henna, the cravat gray, the background grayish black,

and he is clad in armor. I do not know of the relation,

if any, this portrait bears to the one in the State House

at Providence."

Mr. Herbert O. Brigham, Librarian of the Rhode

Island State Library, writes of the painting there:

"A careful examination of the portrait shows an at-

tractive, clean-shaven face, with blue eyes and dark-

brown hair, standing well out from a dark-green back-

ground. The salient features of the costume are a red

sash, a white and orange cravat in a fine pattern similar

to brocade. He is portrayed as wearing a suit of steel

armor. It is said to have been done by Batcheler, pre-

sumably Frederic S. Batcheler, a sketch of whose life

appears in ."Arts and Artists of Rhode Island," page 33.

I believe that it is a copy. The legislature, in January,

1895, made provision for the painting of the portraits

of the various Governors of the state under the authority

of the Secretary of State."

Photographs of the Hartford and Providence canvases,

which I have been enabled through Mr. Walter Gilman

Page to place side by side, show striking differences. In

the Hartford portrait the face is contemplative and in

repose ; the hair is in formal waves and falls close to the

vaguely mottled cravat; the armor is in a dull light andclearly outlined. In the Providence figure the face is

slightly smiling, highly lighted, animated; the hair is in-

721

formal, and exposes the riveted armor between the arm

and distinctly figured cravat. The spandrel is lacking.

The Providence portrait was copied for the State

House in Boston in September, 1924, by Frederick E.

Wallace, who was born in Haverhill.

In Dr. Kenneth B. Murdochs "Increase Mather"

(1925), opposite page 180, there is a portrait of An-

dros, described as "From a photograph of an engraving,

supplied by C. E. Andros, Esq., Liverpool, England."

It appears to be from the same original as that on

page 345 of this work.

SIR EDMUND ANDROSi 637-1 7 i 3/4

Providence Portrait

(7*3 )

Pierre Bacot was a Huguenot. At the opening of

the seventeenth century there lived in the town of

Tours, France, a few miles from Blois, the family of

Bacot. The men seem to have been fond of the name

Pierre, and the line begins with Pierre Bacot I, whose

son, Pierre II, married, it is said, Jeanne Moreau and

had three sons : David, who remained in France ; Pierre,

the third of the name, who left Tours in dangerous

times of religious persecution, and crossed to South

Carolina with his children ; and another son whose name

is unknown, a kinsman, doubtless, of the Isaac who in

June, 1684, went to England, carrying with him from

Tours a letter to the French Church in Threadneedle

Street, London. Pierre III, or Peter, was born under

the shadow of the ancient Gothic cathedral at Tours.

He married Jaquine Mercier, and sailed with his wife

and two sons, Peter IV and Daniel, for Charles Town,

where he took the oath of allegiance in October, 1685.

Peter III settled on an estate on the western side of the

Ashley River, and died late in the year 1701 or in 1702.

His widow was made administratrix of his estate in

June, 1702, and was left with two sons, Daniel and

Peter IV, born in France, as well as a daughter, Eliza-

beth, born in Carolina.

Peter Bacot, fourth of the name, and first of those

whose portraits have come down to us, was born in

France, perhaps at Tours. His youth must have been

spent at his father's estate on the western side of the

Ashley River. He afterwards moved to the Goose

Creek section on the eastern side of the Ashley River,

between that river and the Cooper River, a prosperous

725

settlement nineteen miles from Charles Town, where

he was a planter. His first wife, Marianne, daughter

of Abraham Fleury, Sieur de la Plaine, of Tours,

and widow of Jacques du Gue, died soon after mar-

riage, without Bacot issue, and in 171 6 he married

Marie, granddaughter of Samuel and Jeanne (Collin)

Peronneau, who had come from La Rochelle. He left

by his second wife four children: Samuel, born 1716, and

settled in the Darlington District, leaving descendants;

Mary, born 17 17, and never married; Elizabeth, born

j 725, and married to Charles Dewar; Peter V, born

March, 1728, and married to Elizabeth Harramond in

1764. This Peter V was a merchant of Charleston,

and had eleven children, one of whom was appointed

by Washington, in 1794, the postmaster there. The

fourth Peter and his second wife, and his sister Eliza-

beth, who married Jonas Bonhoste, left portraits.

PIERRE BACOTFourth of the name

(7^7)

Governor Richard Bellingham, of Massachusetts,

who lost his heart under romantic circumstances, yet

saved his head when his demented sister, Mrs. Anne

Hibbins, lost hers as a witch, was born about 1592,

the son of William Bellingham, of Bromby, in Lincoln-

shire. His mother was of the Arncotts, another Visi-

tation family, with strong London connections. By his

first wife, Elizabeth Backhouse, of Swallowfield, a famous

estate in Berkshire, he had a son, Samuel, a London

physician.

Richard had been "bred to the law" and was Recorder

of Old Boston from 1625 to 1633, coming over the

next spring. There is a hint of his activities in HughPeter's remark: "Mr. Bellingham is very, very greedy

for more money." After holding minor offices, he was

elected governor in June, 1641, having stolen a march

on his rivals.

In September he outwitted a different kind of rival,

and Winthrop tells the famous tale, prefacing it with

"a query, whether the following be fit to be published."

Bellingham was now fifty and a widower; Penelope

Pelham was twenty.

"The young gentlewoman was ready to be contracted to a friend

of his, who lodged in his house, and by his consent had proceeded

so far with her when on the sudden the governor treated with her,

and obtained her for himself. He excused it by the strength of

his affection and that she w^as not absolutely promised to the other

gentleman."

Bellingham omitted to have the "contract published

where he dwelt," and he performed the ceremony him-

self, two enormities which brought his case before the

729

magistrates. On the eventful day he refused to leave

the bench, his brother judges were confounded, and the

case fell through. By his second wife he had John

(Harvard, 1661), James, Hannah, and Grace.

Bellingham, in his stormy career, was as often right

as wrong. In the case of Mrs. Sherman's sow—Did

the renowned Captain Keayne kill a stray sow, his own

sow, or Mrs. Sherman's lost sow?—as explained in

Winthrop's Journal for 1642, he sided with Mrs. Sher-

man and the public against the other magistrates. From

the sow controversy came the colony's legislative system

of an upper and a lower house. During the ebb and

flow of his popularity he served as governor in 1654,

and from 1665 to 1672.

Bellingham's ancient mansion in Boston stood on the

southern corner of Cornhill and Washington Street.

The present Cary house, in Chelsea, perpetuates the

governor's hunting lodge. He died 7 December, 1672,

while governor, and was buried in the Granary. His

widow lived until 1702, and the lawsuits over his dimin-

ishing property continued for 115 years after his death,

his will being at last disallowed.

Into a world of electricity, automobiles, and victrolas

his portrait suddenly emerges. Through the generosity

of Mr. Thomas B. Clarke, of New York, a reproduction

appears here.

Perhaps Cotton Mather's characterization of Belling-

ham will be longest remembered:

"He was noted for none more than for his notable and per-

petual hatred of a bribe."

Governor Simon Bradstreet's portrait, reproduced

here, was purchased by the Boston Athenaeum in 1920.

Its history is given in the notes at the end of this

volume. The hair and costume appear to set a date

for the picture at about 1 680-1 690, although the face

is extraordinarily well preserved for a man of seventy-

five or eighty. The features resemble those in the

State House portrait, reproduced on page 357 of Vol-

ume 2. I was at first tempted to wonder whether this

portrait might not depict the governor's son, Dr. Samuel

Bradstreet, who was born about 1633, and died in 1682,

leaving a portrait mentioned in the governor's will of

1697. Miss Wildman, however, has called my attention

to a statement in Judge Sewall's diary under the date

of June 11, 1685 :

"Govr Bradstreet's Effigies hung up in his best Room this

day."

This reference seems to add to the strength of the

contention that we have in the recently discovered por-

trait reproduced here a likeness of the governor rather

than of his son, for the portrait meets every condition

except as to age, and this is a difficulty that often con-

fronts us. Painters frequently make their sitters appear

more youthful than they really are. Evert Duyckinck,

the New York painter, did the picture of Stoughton

at Dorchester in 1685. The trace of a spandrel in the

Bradstreet portrait suggests that the canvas was origi-

nally equal in size to the Stoughton. Was the Bradstreet

by Duyckinck? In Volume 2 (page 635) a reference to

Bentley's diary shows that as early as 1804 Dr. Bentley

733

was uneasy over the costume of the State House por-

trait, which naturally comes to mind on studying the

portrait here reproduced. A comparison of the hair

with that of the Alsop portrait on page 69 of Volume 1

and the Winslow on page 509 of Volume 2, dated 1666

and 1 65 1 respectively, leads one to conjecture that if

hair or cravat has been altered, it is more reasonable

to assume that the State House portrait is of the 1655—

1665 period, as indicated by the hair, with the cravat

altered to the 17 10-1720 period. Or if the State House

portrait is a copy of an original, the date of the cravat

may indicate the period when the copy was made. 1

have been unable to prove that either portrait ever hung

in the old State House, which was burned in 171 1,

when Queen Anne's portrait was saved. If the State

House portrait was in the old State House and was

saved, conceivably it was "restored" for the new State

House, built in 17 13, with a contemporary cravat for

the occasion—a fair date for the cravat.

Jane Lucas Brown, the daughter of Augustus and

Marie Lucas, was born at St. Malo, in France, Octo-

ber 1 6, 1697, and died at Newport, October 13, 1775.

Her father, Augustus Lucas, of La Rochelle, came over

to Newport late in 1697 or in 1698, being in the com-

pany of Mr. Laurens, of South Carolina. It was not

unusual for very young children to cross the ocean in

those days, and the unsettled religious conditions in

France made it necessary to take risks that we in our

day should not think of taking. Jane, the daughter,

was soon left to alien hands, for her mother, Marie,

daughter of Daniel Lefebvre, died February 12, 1698,

soon after the settlement in Newport. Jane had a

brother, Augustus, Jr., who eventually married Mary,

the sister of the Rev. Henry Caner, of King's Chapel,

in Boston. In 1704 the father married for a second

wife Barsheba, daughter of the Rev. Joseph Eliot, son

of the "apostle to the Indians." She no doubt cared

for the children by her husband's former wife.

Jane Lucas was married December 26, 17 17, by the

Rev. James Honyman, to Captain John Brown, a wealthy

merchant of Newport, and an active vestryman of

Trinity Church. Through him, if not from her own

family's position, she became a figure in the social life

of her town, in so far as the birth of thirteen children,

between 17 18 and 1741, with cares innumerable, per-

mitted social duties.

The variety of interest in a merchant's life is shown

by the fact that one of her children died in Yorkshire,

another in the West Indies, and a third in Holland.

They were very likely all travellers. The dignity of

737

her portrait shows that she was the worthy companion

of a distinguished citizen, and the mother of a large and

interesting family.

Her children were Mary, John, Jane, Mary, Eliza-

beth, Jeremiah, Abigail, Ann, Colonel Robert, Augustus,

James, Frances, and Hart.

Nathaniel Byfield's portrait offers an interesting

study in the value of family tradition. Mr. Charles A.

Munn, of the Scientific American, a well-known lover of

art in New York, first heard of this portrait from Major

Kenneth Budd, whose relative, Mrs. R. W. (Mary C.)

King, of Montclair, New Jersey, sold it as a likeness

of Governor Jonathan Belcher. She stated in a letter

dated October 28, 1919: "After the custom of the

times Gov. Belcher exchanged portraits with his friend

Sir Wm. Pepperrell, both being painted by Smybert.

The portrait of the Governor has descended to methrough Sir William's daughter who married Nathaniel

Sparhawk. Their oldest daughter married Wm. Jarvis.

Their oldest daughter married Hampden Cutts, and

their oldest daughter, Anna Holyoke Cutts Howard,

as you know, was my mother."

Every one connected with the transaction acted in

perfectly good faith, but when the picture was cleaned

the features were those of Byfield, not Belcher, and the

age at the date of sitting as inscribed on the canvas

is that of Byfield. While family tradition has its value,

this incident illustrates the danger of reliance on tradi-

tion when more substantial testimony can be obtained.

The Portrait of Charles Calvert, Lord Balti-

more, reproduced on page 97 of Volume 1, was not

satisfactory on account of the smallness of the face. I

am now able to reproduce the fine picture obtained in

1 919 by James P. Labey, Esq., of New York, from the

Raborg family, whose members for many years lived

in Paris. It was evidently the belief of a former owner

that the portrait was by Kneller, but Mr. Labey attrib-

utes it to Lely.

A further reference to this picture will be found in

Leonard Calvert is here shown from a photograph

of the original painting formerly owned by the Raborg

family of Paris. It passed to Mr. James P. Labey, of

New York, in 191 9, and from him, in 1921, to Messrs.

R. C. and N. M. Vose, of Boston. The reproduction

on page 105 of Volume 1 gives no adequate conception

of the dissipated face of the sitter. Indeed he fasci-

nates and draws one as fire may be supposed to lure a

moth. For this reason, if for no other, it would in-

terest the student of character, or the observer on the

side lines who loves the game of life, to know from

diaries and letters what impression he made on the men

and women of his time. A modern writer calls him

weak and inefficient, with little force of character. An-

other refers to him as "a dunce and a block head"

while at school; while a third says that the struggle of

life "marvellously sharpened his wits and polished his

manners," making him "shrewd, thoughtful, firm and

courteous." 1 For an account of his career see Volume 1,

Thomas Coram, a man whom Lord Walpole of

Wolterton sized up as "the honestest, the most disinter-

ested, and the most knowing person about the plantations

I ever talked with," was certainly a Founder of the

British Empire beyond the seas. He was born in or

about 1667 at Lyme Regis, of a family probably con-

nected with the Corhams of the adjoining county of

Devon. Coram seems to have inherited his love for

ships from his father, a sea captain, and at the age of

eleven and one-half years he went to sea. His educa-

tion, therefore, was meagre, and he said: "I understand

no Lattin, nor English nither, well, for though Through

As early as 1694 he is found in Boston, New Eng-

land. There, and in Taunton, he lived for ten years,

"to promote," as he says, "and carry on and conduct

ship-building on account of some considerable merchants

of London." He moved to Taunton in 1699, and es-

tablished his shipyard in what is now South Dighton.

He was soon in legal difficulties, due, perhaps, as much1 Proceedings Massachusetts Historical Society, October, 1922.

to his hot temper and his strong churchmanship as to

the people of Taunton, whom he described as uncivilized.

Upon his removal he made provision for a church for

the inhabitants there, "if they should incline to have a

Church of England built among them." Since he re-

ferred to them as "a generation of vipers," their need

of religion was evident.

Coram was on intimate terms with leaders in court

and commerce, and was able, in 1739, after seventeen

years of labor, to establish a foundling hospital. Abasket hung by the door, and in a single day 117 in-

fants were deposited within it. Hogarth took great

interest in the hospital, and in May, 1740, presented

his fine portrait of Coram. Handel aided the hospital

in 1749 and 1750. In time the hospital became "the

most fashionable morning lounge" in London.

Mrs. Coram (Eunice, daughter of John Wayte, of

Boston), whom he had married 27 June, 1700, died in

July, 1740. She was, he said, a wife without a fault,

and her Boston kindred were always close to his heart.

He soon lost interest in his worldly affairs, which went

from bad to worse. In March, 1749, an annuity was

provided for him by powerful and loyal friends. Hedied on Friday, 29 March, 175 1, aged eighty-four, and

was buried on the night of April 3, at 5 p.m., in the

Chapel of the Hospital, the officers, the older boys and

girls, and the Captain's relatives being present.

His portrait faces the title-page of this volume.

Stephen (Etienne) de Lancey, merchant, was

born at Caen, in France, 24 October, 1663, son of

Jacques de Lancey, of a noble family in Normandy. In

1685 the destruction of the Protestant Church at Caen,

the largest of its faith in France, with belfry and cross,

warned Etienne's mother, Marguerite Bertrand, that a

crisis was at hand. Word soon came that troops would

be quartered on families which did not embrace the

Catholic religion. Etienne at once fled to Holland to

avoid persecution, and then crossed to England, where

he took the oath of allegiance 5 March, 1685/6, before

sailing for New York in the following summer. His

only capital was his mother's jewels, valued at £300;

and after a career devoted to commerce, he left a for-

tune of half a million dollars. He was active in public

affairs all his life, a member of the assembly twenty-four

years, donor of the first town clock, and agent for

purchasing the first fire engine. Early in his career he

fell out with Governor Bellomont, and was accused of

engaging in illegal trade with Madagascar. He also

had serious differences with Governor Burnet.

As early as 1700 De Lancey had built a mansion house

at the present corner of Broad and Pearl streets, later

known as Fraunces' Tavern, and famous because in what

had been Mrs. De Lancey's drawing room Washington

bade a final farewell to his officers in 1783. Here

De Lancey and his wife, Anne, daughter of Stephen

van Cortlandt, lived until he moved to a larger house,

which occupied an entire block on Broadway, above

Trinity Church. In the famous old house on Broad

Street, now the oldest in New York, a piazza at the

755

rear commanded a fine view of the North River. Abeautiful garden sloped gently down to the water.

At De Lancey's death, 18 November, 1741, he left

surviving sons: James, chief justice and lieutenant gov-

ernor of the Province of New York, Peter, Stephen,

John, and Oliver ; and daughters : Susannah, wife of

Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Warren, whose children were

closely allied with the Peerage, and Anne, wife of John

Watts. The children were (except Susannah) baptized

at the French Church in New York, and were well

educated, and generously remembered in their father's

will.

Margareta Katrijn de Peyster, of Amsterdam,

was born in 1655, the daughter of Pierre de Peyster

and Pietronella van Kesteren. Of her life in the city

of canals we have no record, but when she was a young

woman nearing thirty Abraham de Peyster, of NewYork, son of Johannes, who was her father's first cousin,

came to Amsterdam, and married her 5 April, 1684.

They passed a long honeymoon in Holland, and in

September came to New York to begin a life of wealth

and influence. The family mansion on Pearl Street had

three storeys, beside attic rooms. It stood flush with

the street, with great trees at either end. The front

door, between ornamental columns, was surmounted by

a Palladian window of classic design. To the right and

left of the door were three windows on each floor. The

house had an air of dignity and opulent hospitality; and

here Mrs. de Peyster entertained the distinguished people

of the day.

Governor Bellomont and his wife were their intimate

friends, and when separated, they corresponded. Thegovernor, in all his letters to Colonel de Peyster, rarely

failed to send his regards to Madame de Peyster. On28 August, 1699, ne savs tnat Lady Bellomont bids

him tell the Colonel that the letter Madame de Peyster

was to write never arrived, "and she upbraids you for

deluding her w'th such false hopes." But Madame did

write a little later, and undertook a commission to buy

a pearl necklace for Lady Bellomont. We get fleeting

glimpses of her at weddings and christenings. She was

also interested in weaving and in good cooking.

While De Peyster was holding one office after another

759

—Alderman, Mayor, Member of the King's Council,

Acting Governor, Justice of the Supreme Court, Receiver

General of the Post, and Treasurer of New York and

New Jersey—his wife became widely known as a hostess.

As the mother of a large family sorrow must have

come not infrequently, for of their thirteen children, five

boys and a girl were named after Abraham's father,

Johannes, and no one of them lived to perpetuate the

family. Abraham the Younger and Pierre Guillaume

became prominent, and their sisters, Catharine, Eliza-

beth, and Joanna, married men who became well known.

A still greater sorrow came in 1721, when Mr. de Pey-

ster's mind became "distracted," and he was closely

confined by his family without hope of his recovery. Hedied 2 August, 1728, but his widow lived on for some

time.

Samuel Desborough, son of James of Eltisley,

Cambridgeshire, and a younger brother of Major Gen-

eral John Desborough, of Cromwell's army, was born

30 November, 1619, and died 10 December, 1690. Heis said to have "retired to America on account of his

religion" in 1639, and must therefore have shown

marked convictions at the age of twenty. Dr. Steiner,

in his History, states that Desborough had studied law

with his brother, John, and on the death of his father

in October, 1638, finding the family estate in the hands

of his elder brother, James, an Anabaptist, he joined

Rev. Mr. Whitfield in New England. He proceeded

from New Haven to the new town of Guilford, in Con-

necticut, two years later. At the General Court held at

New Haven 27 October, 1643, f°r tne signmg of Articles

of Confederation for the jurisdiction of New Haven,

where "none but such planters as are members of some

or other of the approved churches in New England . . .

shall have any vote in any election," he represented the

town. All the early settlers were personal friends or

followers of the two leaders, Mr. Desborough and the

Rev. Mr. Whitfield. It is recorded on the first page

of the town records that "Mr. Samuel Disbrow" and

three others took their oath 14 August, 1645.

At Guilford Desborough and his father-in-law, Rev.

Henry Whitfield, acquired large tracts of land and built

for themselves good stone houses. They set up a gov-

ernment wherein the church was to be all powerful "in

the Congregational Church way." Desborough became

the first magistrate there, and was accounted one of

the seven pillars of the church at its formation.

Cromwell's power was now in the ascendant and

763

Desborough returned to England in the autumn of

1650. His brother John had married Jane, sister of

Oliver Cromwell, and preferment was open to him also.

Five years later Samuel was appointed by Cromwell

one of the nine commissioners for Scotland, and in 1657,

Keeper of the Great Seal. He served in Parliament

in 1656 and 1 658-1659, but retired to an estate at

Elsworth with the return of Charles II to power.

He had married Dorothy Whitfield, the daughter of

his friend, at Guilford, by whom he left a daughter,

Sarah, born in March, 1649 (married to Christopher

Mills), and a son, Dr. James Desborough, of Stepney,

Middlesex, whose daughter, Elizabeth, married Matthew,

son of Sir Matthew Holworthy, the benefactor of

Harvard.

Mrs. Desborough died in 1654, and Samuel married

Rose Hobson, a widow, who survived him. His will

mentions three grandchildren: Christopher, Samuel, and

James Mills.

Rose Desborough left an interesting will, which men-

tions her sister, the Lady Bolton, wife of that Lord

Mayor, Sir William, who had the misfortune to fall

under the displeasure of the building contractors of his

day for insisting upon good mortar in the reconstruction

of London following the Great Fire, and also her niece,

the wife of Dr. John Fryer, the famous traveller in

Persia.

Samuel Desborough was a prosperous man, kept his

coach and horses, and was able to give a pearl necklace

to his second wife on their marriage.

bates shows that Samuel was as conspicuous for silence

as the Major General was for discussion. His infre-

quent remarks relate to procedure rather than to vital

questions. He was kindly in his spirit and anxious to

vote wisely. It is not strange, therefore, that King

Charles, in 1660, forgave his allegiance to Cromwell

and restored his estates.

SAMUEL DESBOROUGH1619-1690

(769)

John Dolbeare, of Boston, brazier, was born

ii February, 1669, at Ashburton, County Devon, where

the family had intermarried with the Prideaux and other

local gentry for at least two centuries. He came over to

America some nine years later with his father, Edmund

Dolbeare, a pewterer, his mother, and his brother,

Joseph. The family were always in debt, and the sons

learned early the lesson of thrift.

John followed the trade of pewter-making with his

father, or possibly with John Baker, brazier, who had

been a surety to the town for the family in 1682. Heprospered, and at his shop "at the head of the Dock

fronting to Dock Square" John sold whale oil, beeswax,

and all kinds of hardware, as well as pewter plate. His

book of bills of lading shows shipments to almost every

port on the coast, and to Europe as well.

He was married by the Rev. Cotton Mather 9 June,

1698, to Sarah Comer. They had pews in two meeting-

houses; and led an active life, surrounded by books such

as "Foxes Martyrology," "Pools Annatations," "Wil-

lard's Body of Divinity," "Sidney on Government," and

several Bibles, family portraits, framed coats of arms,

and other evidences of culture.

But these do not make a happy home. The first two

children, named John, died, one in infancy and one in

early manhood. The third, Thomas, married Sarah

Eliot, lived in Dorchester, and angered his father by" Misimproofing his inheritance." The fourth, James,

married Mary Valentine; he said that he hoped his wife

would die, and in 1737 went to England to get away

from her.

771

The fifth son, Samuel, was "married contrary to mymind and consent," said his father, to Susanna Wake-

field. The sixth, Benjamin, died early. The seventh

child, Mary, born in 1710, must have been colorless or

a paragon. She married Bernard Townsend and received

no censure.

Benjamin, the eighth child, married Hannah Vincent,

was interested in genealogy, and corresponded with his

English relatives. The ninth, Sarah, married Dr. Wil-

liam Clarke, but not until her mother, in a will, threat-

ened to disinherit her if she married "one Robert

Morris." David, the tenth child, married Charity Ricks,

and "behaved himself Very Disobegent to myself & mywife & because he married Contrary to my mind & will."

The eleventh child, George, married Mary Sherwood,

inherited property in Colchester, Connecticut, escaped

the paternal displeasure, and received the family por-

traits and silver.

With their wealth measured by a dozen or more

houses, shops, and warehouses, they did not live in

peace. The impression which one gets from reading the

wills of Mr. and Mrs. Dolbeare is that both were

unreasonably severe and exacting with their . children,

although these parents attended church and read reli-

gious literature. He died 20 June, 1740.

Mr. Dolbeare was buried in the family tomb, No. 50,

in the burial ground on the Common. His son, James,

was the executor of his will.

Colonel George Eskridge devoted a long life to

the law, but he would be unknown today had not

Mrs. Mary (Ball) Hewes, in 1721, left her daughter

"to be under [his] Tutiledge and Government during

her minority." The girl of thirteen became, in 1732,

the mother of Washington.

Early in life Eskridge is said to have been seized by

a Press Gang while reading a law book in North Wales,

and spent eight years in Virginia as a servant. At the

end of this period, the story goes, he rooted up his

hearthstone bed with a mattock, and returned to Eng-

land to complete his studies. He was again in Virginia

as early as the year 1697, and rose rapidly to notice.

In 1702 he was one of twenty-four prominent men on

the Grand Jury who sent a loyal address to Queen Anne.

From 1705 to within a year of his death he was fre-

quently a member of the House of Burgesses from

Westmoreland County, his home, "Sandy Point," being

on the Potomac, near the mouth of the Yeocomico. Hehad business or family ties with Whitehaven, County

Cumberland, a section of England in which his very rare

surname is often to be found on parish records. Hewas on intimate terms with the local gentry of Virginia,

and received a silver hilted sword from one of them as

a bequest.

His first wife was Rebecca, the daughter of Samuel

and Margaret (Philpot) Bonum. She became the

mother of William, "eldest son and heir"; George, whodied before his father and left four little boys; Samuel

and Robert, both executors of his will; Sarah, the wife

of Willoughby Newton; and Margaret, who married

775

Howson Kenner. Soon after Margaret's birth (about

1 710) Mrs. Eskridge died, and the Colonel married

Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Vaulx, of Westminster

County. Elizabeth's portrait it is, probably, that was

painted about 1720, when the Colonel's was done. By

her he had a daughter of the same name, whose two

husbands, Captain William Aylett and Colonel James

Steptoe, were well-known men.

Colonel Eskridge died between 27 October and 25 No-

vember, 1735, leaving a long will, which mentions sev-

eral thousand acres of land and many slaves.

Augustus Jay, second son of Pierre Jay, a Huguenot

merchant of France, was born at La Rochelle, as the

family Bible states, "23/13 mars, 1665," and was bap-

tized the 29th. His mother was Judith Frangois. Times

were threatening for Protestants, and possibly looking

to the future, Pierre sent his oldest son to England to

be educated. The boy died on shipboard, and Auguste,

or Augustus, took his place. While this son was on a

trading voyage to the coast of Africa in 1685, the family

fled to England in one of Pierre's own ships, which had

lately arrived from Spain. Pierre was arrested, but es-

caped and followed them across the Channel. Augustus,

having had no warning, returned to La Rochelle, was

arrested, escaped, and reached South Carolina. Finally

he determined to settle in New York, and after several

commercial voyages, including the inevitable capture by

pirates, he gave up the sea, and married, 28 October,

1697, "old Stille," Anna Maria, daughter of Balthazar

Bayard.

In 1 70 1 he was a voter in the South Ward, and for

some years an assistant. He served on many municipal

committees having to do with practical affairs.

In 1728 Mr. Jay acquired the Balthazar Bayard

property on the west side of Broadway, opposite the

Bowling Green, pulled down the old houses, and peti-

tioned the city to straighten Broadway so that he might

erect houses that would be "a Beauty and Ornament

to the said city." He was living there as late as 1745,

and died in New York 10 March, 175 1.

He left four daughters: Judith, Mary, Frances, and

Ann, three of whom married; and one son, Peter, a

779

successful merchant of New York and Rye, whose son,

John, became the first Chief Justice of the Supreme

Court of the United States.

Augustus Jay has been described as "one of the notable

personages of his time."

The Rev. Thomas Larkham, one of the stormiest

petrels of a stormy era, was born 17 August, 1602, at

Lyme Regis, in Dorset, the son of Thomas, a linen

draper, and Jane, his wife. Educated at Trinity Hall,

Cambridge, he married, 10 June, 1622, Patience,

daughter of a Crediton schoolmaster, George Wilton,

and the next year became chaplain at Sandford, a parish

of that town. About three years later he became Vicar

of Northam, near Barnstaple, Devon. Larkham was

soon in trouble as a radical preacher and was "put into

Star-chamber," being accused of heresy, witchcraft, and

treason. Obtaining money by the death of his father

in the spring of 1640, he thought it wise to go to NewEngland ; he settled at Dover, in New Hampshire, where,

backed by those with Episcopal leanings, he ousted

Knollys the Baptist, and induced the people to change

the name of the town to Northam. It was said that

he too readily accepted the penitent who had not given

adequate evidence of permanent improvement, and the

slander readily included Larkham himself as one of the

unregenerate. His assumption of civil power led to such

discontent that commissioners were sent from Boston to

bring about peace. Larkham went back to England in

1642, and Winthrop said that "it was time for him to

be gone."

In England he was for a time, as he says, "chaplain

to one of greatest honour in the nation, next unto a king,

had his residence among ladies of honour, and was

familiar with men of greatest renown in the kingdom."

Later he preached at East Greenwich, in Kent, where

he raised a tempest; he then preached at Tavistock, in

787

Devon, but continued serving as an army chaplain until

court-martialled at Plymouth for interfering with disci-

pline. In 1655 (dated 1656) his greatest work, "Ser-

mons on the Attributes of God," appeared. At Tavis-

tock his "novelties" in the government of his church

stirred up enmity. In 1657 he attacked malcontents in

a pamphlet entitled "Naboth, in a Narrative and Com-

plaint of the Church of God at Tavistock." This led

to a long pamphlet war with his parishioners. His

Diary seems to justify their charge that he devoted too

much time to drinking sack and playing at bowls.

Whisperings of immorality in New England also

offered fresh opportunity for another tract, and for

polemics against neighboring clergymen. His opponents

then established weekly lectures at Tavistock, and finally

the legality of his claim to officiate as vicar was chal-

lenged in the courts, and his patron, the Earl of Bed-

ford, asked for his resignation. He was in prison at

various times.

Larkham now went to live with his son-in-law, Daniel

Condy, keeper of the local prison, and preached in

nearby towns until threatened with arrest. He finally

became a successful apothecary and was excommunicated

the next year. Entries in his Diary continue until

17 November, 1669. He died soon after and was

buried at Tavistock on the 23rd of December.

Larkham's sermons drew large audiences, because he

repeated on Sunday all that he heard on week-days. It

was a proverb in Tavistock, "If you will know what

news, go to church." He told his hearers that he had

500 books in his library and was independently well off.

788

He called his local enemies grunting-swine, squint-eyed

fools, and the devil's dish clouts. On one occasion he

shouted after a retreating worshipper, "Go, and the curse

of God go with thee." At other times he rhymed the

sins of local magnates (as he often did in his Diary),

to the boisterous delight of the irreverent audience. In

retaliation, a small gibbet from which a knave of spades

was suspended was attached to his gate; and he was

often haled before the magistrates by ill-wishers.

Larkham in turn claimed that, like his Master, he

came not to bring peace, but the sword. He excom-

municated seventeen of his parish "at a clap" for at-

tending a funeral conducted by a neighboring minister.

With unctuous gratitude to God he often mentions

in his Diary November 12th, the day when he slipped

off from New England, leaving a wife and children, as

well as a widowed landlady about to give birth to a

child. Although he lived in turmoil and in daily fear

of arrest, he grew steadily in worldly prosperity, leav-

ing a large estate and many descendants at his death,

which occurred about the 20th of December, 1669. Hewas buried the 23rd. He loved quarrelling, bowls, sack,

and tobacco. He loved also to preach and to write.

The great authority on non-conformity, Dr. Grosart,

said of Larkham : "With a conscience sensitive and tender

as an inviolate child's ... he was of the most choice

and chosen men of his century."

Larkham left the following children

:

1. John, baptized at Crediton 10 October, 1624.

2. Patience, baptized there 26 February, 1625; married Lieuten-

789

ant Miller, who died in May, 1656, leaving a widow and four

children. They lived at Rossgarland Castle, Ireland.

3. Thomas, aged 14 when he matriculated at Oxford in 1637/8;

married Mary Covert, and died in 1648/9, leaving a daughter,

Mary, who died early, and a son, Thomas, who beat Mrs.

Smith's sow and lost a law suit, to the distress of his reverend

grandfather.

4. George, born 20 April, 1630; matriculated at Oxford in 1647;

rector at Cockermouth, and ejected in 1662. Mentioned by

Calamy.

5. Jane, married 17 December, 1652, Daniel Condy, a Tavistock

shopkeeper and prison officer. Larkham treated her hand-

somely at the wedding and lived with her in old age until

her large family forced him to other quarters.

The Portrait of Robert Livingston, i 654-1 728,

reproduced on page 271, can be seen in larger form in

Fiske's "Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America," illus-

trated edition, 1903, Volume 2, page 54, from Mrs.

Manning's Albany portrait.

The same portrait (varying in detail and perhaps the

original) "in the possession of Herman Livingston, Esq.

of Oak Hill" is reproduced here from Edwin B. Liv-

ingston's "The Livingstons of Livingston Manor" (New

York), 19 10, opposite page 55. Here much more archi-

tectural detail in the background is shown, and the

expression is better brought out.

Opposite page 58 of "The Livingstons" is the por-

trait of a lady called Alida Schuyler, his wife, who died

in 1729. She has the costume of 1750 and would appear

to have been painted by John Wollaston. (See Maria

Thong, opposite page 272, where the costume is the

same, and the lady alive until 1763.) The curious reader

may care to turn to the Wollaston portrait of Mrs. Anne

Waddell, about 1752, and essentially the same costume,

reproduced in Dr. Austin B. Keep's "History of the

New York Society Library," 1908, opposite page 188.

Marion Harland's "Some Colonial Homesteads"

(New York, 1897, page 205) has the Robert Living-

ston portrait reversed.

Clermont Livingston owns a portrait said to represent

Robert Livingston as a young man, with sugar-loaf hat

and rolling brim, thick hair, narrow collar, and a chain.

It is reproduced in Glenn's "Some Colonial Mansions,"

Philadelphia, 1898, page 303, and in Reynolds's "Al-

bany Chronicles," 1906, opposite page 180. The cos-

793

tume is nearer to the date of Robert's birth, 1654, than

to the period of his early manhood. The sitter would,

therefore, appear to be in the generation of Robert's

father.

Some authorities say that Livingston died in Boston

in 1728.

John Nelson, of Boston, was born in or near

London in 1654, the son of Robert Nelson, of Gray's

Inn, and of Mary, his wife, daughter of Sir John

Temple, of Stantonbury. Law and the Temple family

were the pillars of the Nelson edifice. Nothing is known

of John's youth, but he evidently was trained in the ways

of commerce and went out early in ships owned by his

relatives. In 167 1, while yet a boy, he was at Nevis,

and at twenty he was back in London to witness his

uncle, Sir Thomas Temple's, will.

Nelson came to Boston in 1680, and when about

thirty-two, married Elizabeth Tailer, a girl of nineteen

or twenty, whose brother became later Lieutenant Gov-

ernor of the Colony. From this time until his death,

15 November, 1734, Nelson led the life of a prominent

Boston merchant. His familiar letters show strong

domestic affection and concern for the welfare of his

growing family.

His children were : Rebecca, the wife of Henry Lloyd,

of Long Island; Elizabeth, married to Nathaniel Hub-

bard, of Stamford, in Connecticut; Mehetable, the wife

of Captain Robert Temple; Margaret, the wife of Cap-

tain Thomas Steele; and two sons, Temple Nelson, a

Boston merchant, and Paschal Nelson, of the class of

1 72 1 at Harvard, who died in England.

John Nelson managed to pack into a merchant's life

much of adventure. In 1689 ne t0°k P art m an upris-

ing against the unpopular royal governor, Sir EdmundAndros, who was taken prisoner and sent to England.

Soon after this event he was in Nova Scotia on business

and was captured by French and Indians, led by Villebon,

797

and was well treated as a prisoner by Frontenac. Under-

standing both French and Indian, he contrived to gather

the outlines of a plan to attack Maine and New Hamp-

shire. He bribed two French soldiers, Vignon and

Albert, to carry a letter from him to the authorities at

Boston. The letters were delivered, but the messengers

were eventually caught, were brought back to Canada,

where they confessed and, together with Mr. Nelson,

were taken out to be shot. Nelson alone was reprieved,

and was sent to the castle of Angouleme, * in France,

where he lived in a hole for two years, being fed through

a grating. When England demanded his release, he

was transferred to the Bastille as a prisoner of conse-

quence. He was allowed, in 1694, to visit London on

parole, a French gentleman going on his bond. King

William, who heard his story, forbade him to return

to France.

"Will your Majesty, then, pay my bonds ?" he asked.

"No," said the King.

"Please God I live, I'll go," Nelson exclaimed.

He went back to France in January, 1698, but was

soon permitted to return to his home in Boston.

His children through marriage were scattered.

Mr. Nelson was active as a warden and vestryman

of King's Chapel from 1700 to 17 19. His death and

that of his wife are recorded, however, at Christ Church,

Salem Street, and the rector, Doctor Cutler, preached

a memorial sermon entitled, "The Final Peace."

Frederick Philipse, the greatest merchant of his

time in New Amsterdam, had as many ways of spelling

his name as he had acres on the Hudson. Vlypse, or

Felypsen, of a Bohemian family devoted to John Huss,

came over from Holland in 1647 or later, having been

born in East Friesland about 1626. From this time

until his death, 6 November, 1702, whether as Dutch-

man or Englishman, everything in his hands turned to

gold.

It seemed his Genius discreet

Worked on the Maker's own receipt,

And made each tide and element

Stewards of stipend and of rent,

So that the common waters fell

As costly wine into his well.

He planned and built warehouses, docks, churches, and

blockhouses ; he dealt in wine, rum, brandy, horses, grain,

bed pillows, and bolsters; he bartered these with the

Indians for beaver skins; he speculated in wampum and

city lots; he let out farms and draft cattle for hire; was

a banker and miller; and he ran what we should call a

pawnshop. He was even accused of piracy.

During much of his early life he was in litigation.

Stuyvesant granted him in 1658 a house lot at the north-

east corner of the Markveld (now Whitehall Street)

and Brouwer Straat (now Stone Street), where the

family continued to live until the Revolution. In 1666,

he bought from another Bohemian, Augustine Herrman

(who threw in his fate with Maryland that year), a

Broadway house way up town—as far as Wall Street.

801

Meanwhile he had married, in December, 1662,

Margaretta Hardenbroock, widow of Peter de Vries,

who brought him beauty, education, wealth, and the

shrewdness of a successful trader. He now branched

out as an arbitrator, militia officer, alderman, and church

warden. In 1672 Philipse purchased a third interest in

lands which Adriaen Van der Donck had called Colen-

donck, and in time he held undisputed sway from Spuyten

Duyvil on the Hudson to the Croton River—a distance

of twenty-two miles. His wife died in 1691 ; but already,

with characteristic foresight, he had begun to take notice

of Catharina, the young and charming daughter of his

neighbor on the Brouwer Straat—Oloff van Cortlandt,

the brewer. He married her 30 November, 1692.

On 12 June, 1693, by royal charter, the Philipse lands

became the Manor of Philipsborough, and here rose the

old Manor Hall which we see today. Here also in his

pomp and prosperity we may leave him, a "tall and

well-proportioned man, with a quiet grey eye, a Romannose, and a firm, set mouth; in temperament, grave and

melancholy, shrewd almost to craftiness," and yet, "ac-

counted in society a dull man."

Philipse had two sons: Philip (whose son, Frederick,

was the third Lord of the Manor), and Adolphus,

second lord, as well as a daughter, Annetje. Frederick

Philipse's lands were confiscated in 1779, the family was

impoverished and scattered, and the very slaves of the

great estate were buried in the Potter's field.

Johannes Provoost, son of Elias and nephew of the

fighting schoolmaster, David Provoost, was born abroad

about 1630, and was brought to Fort Orange (Albany)

as a child. He became an expert penman, and held

office almost continuously as assistant commissary of

provisions at New Amsterdam in 1653; under clerk of

the Court of Fort Orange and the village of Beavers-

wyck from 1656 to 1664; Secretary of Albany until

August, 1665, and again from October, 1673, to August,

1675; sheriff of Albany County, 1678; and as a magis-

trate, 1679 to 1685.

Soon after the last date he settled in New York, and

was an assistant alderman from the South Ward in

1 688-1 689. Early in the following year French and

Indians laid waste the settlement at Schenectady, and

Provoost was sent by Leisler, with 160 soldiers, to pro-

tect the neighborhood. Robert Livingston did not think

highly of Provoost and his fellow commissioners, who

"spent their time with drinking and quaffing while the

French Indians comes and cutts off the people att Cana-

stagione and above Synechtady and never one of them

catcht."

Provoost took the side of Leisler in the troubles of

the period, serving in the Council. Upon Leisler's down-

fall his followers were imprisoned and their estates con-

fiscated. Provoost, upon his release, went in 1691 to

the Hague, where he worked for the pardon of his

political friends. He soon returned to New York, and

administration on his estate was granted 28 March, 1706,

touhis principal creditors."

805

Provoost married, first, Sara Staets or Staats, per-

haps the daughter of Major Abram Staats, surgeon,

and a skipper on the North River. His second mar-

riage, 25 June, 1685, was t0 Sara Webbers, widow of

Laurens van der Spiegel, who died a few months later.

He was married for a third time, 18 July, 1687, on

this occasion to Annetie Mauritz, widow of Domine van

Nieuwenhuysen. While in Albany he was a member

of the Dutch Church, and his children, David, Isaac,

Jacobus, and Agnes, were born there.

The family was descended from Guillaume Prevost

of Paris, born in 1545, who fled to Holland to avoid

religious persecution. His son, Johannes, born in 1576,

had sons: Elias, mentioned above; another Johannes,

born in 1605 ; Benjamin; and David, who came to Amer-

ica as early as 1624, went back, and returned again ten

years later, to become a permanent resident.

Cornelius Steenwyck died in New York in the winter

of 1684-85, leaving as his four heirs his widow, Mar-

garetta; his sister, Janette, wife of the artist, Jan

van der Gooten (or Goosen), of Haarlem in Holland;

his half brother, Jacobus Mauritz; and his half sister,

Annetie Mauritz, third wife of Johannes Provoost. As

the Johannes Provoost portrait is dated on a label on

the back 1685, it seems a not unreasonable assumption

that Jan van Gooten came to America to attend to his

wife's property following Steenwyck's death, and at that

time may have painted Johannes and Annetie.

Mrs. Rosamund Pryce was born at the manor of

Huntwick Grange, in Wragby, County York, and was

baptized at the parish church 16 April, 1612, the

daughter of Sir Richard Saltonstall and of Grace Kaye,

of Woodsome Hall. Both families were of ancient

lineage in the county. The winter following her birth

her grandfather died and her father inherited over three

thousand acres, worth in our money half a million of

dollars. When she was six her father met King James

and was knighted. During these years the daughter

was being well educated and trained in Christian living,

following, as far as we can judge, in her father's foot-

steps. Her life as a country girl came to an end at the

death of her mother in June, 1625. Sir Richard then

began to sell off his Yorkshire estates. By 1627 he had

severed almost all the rural ties of four centuries, and

as a grave Londoner, was forming intimate ties with

prominent colonizing Puritans.

But in April, 1630, she accompanied her father to

New England in the Arbella, arriving, after a stormy

voyage of nine weeks, at Salem. Sir Richard built a

log cabin on a gravel bank about where the Cambridge

Hospital now is. For nine months Rosamund, accus-

tomed to the London life of a wealthy gentle family,

lived through a bleak winter, without any of the con-

veniences so dear to a girl of that age. Her father's

increasing discontent with the narrow religious outlook

of the New England leaders must have been a subject

for unending discussion in the log cabin.

Finally, in March, 1631, Sir Richard, his two daugh-

ters, and one of his younger sons, went to Boston, spent

809

the night with Governor Winthrop, and sailed the next

morning, to the thundering of guns, for Salem, to take

ship for London.

She kept in touch with her scattered family. She

wrote in 1644 to her brother, Samuel, at Watertown:

"For our Conditions heare I neede not tell you how we are

dispersed, my father and Bro : Henery in Holland ; my father hath

some necessity to be theire now because of Mr. Whirls breaking by

whome my father hath lost more of yt Litle esteate he hath left.

For the present I am and have beene 2 yeares in me Lord of War-

wick's family, my sister is with me Lady Manchester, and thus we

are dispersed about. The Lord give us all a gatheringe in Christ

and theire we shall meete without seaparations to all eternity."

She was now thirty-three, more favored in character,

piety, and the bufferings of fortune than in her beauty.

Then Colonel Richard Pryce, of Gunley Hall, in Wales,

a widower of good family, came upon her horizon. She

united herself with him soon after the year 1647 and

went to Gunley to live.

It must have been not long after this date that her

portrait, now at Gunley Hall, was painted. It was made

known to Mr. Leverett Saltonstall of Boston, through

the researches of Mr. Joseph Gardner Bartlett, the

genealogist, and was photographed by permission of

Edward Stisted Mostyn Pryce, the present owner.

Rosamund Pryce had no children, but her husband's

relatives and her own large family circle claimed her

anxious care until her death in 1695. Of them she

probably could say, as she did of her brother Samuel:

"I can desire nothing so much as your soulles

prospearity."

William Stoughton has been known up to this time

by the portrait reproduced on page 485 of Volume 2.

The picture represents him as the donor of Stoughton

Hall, built in 1700, after he had been the dominant

force in New England. We now have in the newly

discovered portrait, reproduced here, a vision of Stough-

ton at the age of fifty-four, just as he is about to become

Chief Justice, and presumably at his best. This is a more

open countenance than in the other; and although a re-

lentless attitude toward the witches was in later years

a reproach, he still had, when this picture was painted,

a record to be proud of, and a future in the making.

The picture is the only portrait identified as the work

of Evert Duyckinck, of New York, who arrived from

Borken, in Holland, about 1638, and was active as a

limner and glazier until the beginning of the next cen-

tury. The coats of arms on glass, made for the first

Dutch church in New Amsterdam, are attributed to

him ; and perhaps he did the so-called Rev. Everardus

Bogardus, a portrait on glass, referred to on page 225

of Volume 1.

Jan Strijcker, chief figure in the Dutch colony of

Midwout (Flatbush), on Long Island, was born in the

Netherlands in 1617, perhaps at Ruinen, in the province

of Drenthe. In 1652 he followed his more distinguished

brother, Jacobus, to New Netherland, with a wife, Lam-

bertje Seubering, two sons, and four daughters. A year

later he undertook with others the settlement of Mid-

wout, and served as a schepen, or magistrate, for some

twenty years. His duty, with other commissioners, to

seek protection from English and Indians in 1653,

brought him into conflict with Stuyvesant, who ordered

them "to separate under pain of our extreme displeasure

and arbitrary correction."

The next year he was on a committee of three to

build the first church on Long Island; it was to be 60

to 65 feet long, 28 feet wide, 14 feet to the cross

beams, with an extension for the preacher's habitation.

Strijcker soon fell foul of his Domine, and was accused

of negligence, whereby the Domine's family slept in an

open house while needed planks were used for church

seats, and others for drying malt. Finally, in 1659,

Strijcker called for a "coat of color and oil" for the

church. The next year Auke Jans, the carpenter, com-

plained to Stuyvesant that he had not been paid for his

work,- and Strijcker showed that Jans and other work-

men could not be paid until more money had been raised.

In 1662 all the debts had been paid.

When the English came to take possession of the

country in 1664, and the Director-General and Councilp of New Netherland called for the service of every third

man on Long Island, Strijcker and his neighbors replied

817

that they could not leave their wives and children "in

fear and trembling" to oppose "the frigates in the

Narrows." In 1673 he became Captain of the local

militia.

During the next quarter of a century Strijcker seems

to have led the life of a quiet country gentleman, sur-

rounded by sons and daughters and a witness to their

joys and sorrows. Six of his children, Altje, Jannetje,

Garrit Janse, Anjenietje, Hendrik, and Eytje, were born

in Holland; a seventh, Pieter, was born at Midwout

in 1653; an eighth, Sara, in the same place. His wife

died before the spring of 1679, when he married Swantje

Jans, the widow of Cornelis de Potter. Eight years

later (March 31, 1687) he married again; or, as his

biographer writes, "a third dip into the matrimonial pool

brought to the surface Teuntje Teunis, widow of Jacob

Hellakers."

The grave Jan Strijcker died about 1697, leaving a

large and remarkably successful family circle. His por-

trait was painted in 1655, at tne a&e °f thirty-eight, by

his brother, Jacobus.

Oloff Stevense van Cortlandt, perhaps from

Wijk by Duuerstede, near Utrecht, in Holland, was born

about 1610. As a soldier in the West India Company,

he reached New Amsterdam on the man-of-war Haering

in March, 1637/8. His evident ability secured for him

the office of Commissary of cargoes or customs officer

the next year, and brought him into relation with Kiliaen

van Rensselaer, who did little services for him, such as

the forwarding of letters, and sought his secret advice

as to "how the people of the Colony conduct themselves,

especially the officers." In 1643 ne became keeper of

the public stores of the Company, much of the revenue

being received in furs. Five years later he became a

merchant and brewer.

Written complaints in 1650 concerning the adminis-

tration of the Colony were subscribed to by Oloff, and

the Secretary van Tienhoven retorted that van Cortlandt

"has profited by the Company's service and is endeavor-

ing to give his benefactor the pay of the world—that

is, evil for good."

Upon the marriage of Oloff, 26 February, 1642, to

Anneke, sister of Govert Loockermans of the ship

Coninck Davit, who had risen by his own personality

from the humble position of cook's mate on the yacht

St. Martyn, Kiliaen sent his congratulations. In the

same letter he refers to a present sent by Oloff to the

patroon's daughter as "unnecessary and entirely against

my habit to accept"—a passing light on Oloff's activities.

Mrs. Terhune wisely has said that he "kept his seat on

the safe end of the plank," amassed a fortune, and left

an influential family to follow him. He was a per-

8200

sistent officeholder, with the Board of Eight in 1645,

the Board of Nine in 1649, and as a schepen and burgo-

master. He was also Colonel of the Burgher guard.

He did not scruple to use his official position to thwart

a search for smuggled beer in his cellars (1656), and

although convicted and heavily fined, he fought the case

up to the Director General, lesser brewers having long

ago settled with the Farmer of the Burgher Excise.

He was appointed by Stuyvesant, in 1664, a commis-

sioner to treat with the English for the surrender of

the city, and must have been a notable figure under the

British domination of New York; he lived to see his

famous son, Stephen, mayor in 1677. He died 4 April,

1684, and his widow followed him in about a month.

Their children were seven: Stephen, who married Ger-

trude, daughter of Philip Schuyler; Mary, wife of Jere-

mias, son of Kiliaen van Rensselaer; John, who died

unmarried; Sophia, wife of Andries Teller; Catharine,

married to (1) John Dervall and (2) Frederick Phil-

ipse, Jr.; Cornelia, wife of Brandt, son of Philip Schuy-

ler; and Jacob, married to Eve, daughter of Frederick

Philipse.

Oloff van Cortlandt, from these marriages of his

children, would have been known as a man of promi-

nence even had we not been able to look upon his mas-

terful face, which for the first time—through the kind-

ness of Mr. Thomas Benedict Clarke—is permitted to

be reproduced in a book.

Adriaen van der Donck, a young son of Cornelis

van der Donck, of the barony of Breda, called upon his

father's correspondent, Kiliaen van Rensselaer, in Jan-

uary, 1 64 1, to see about carrying two or three families

over to New Netherland. He had studied law and was

looking for employment. On the 13th of May he was

commissioned a schout, or officer of justice, and sailed

four days later on "den Eyckenboom," arriving in

August. At Rensselaerswyck (Albany) he acted as

schout until 1646, but was perhaps too lenient in dis-

pensing justice.

On the 17th of January his house was destroyed by

fire and he went to live with Antony de Hooges. The

two friends soon fell into a legal dispute over respon-

sibility for the loss of the house, and this ended in a

quarrel. De Hooges said that Van der Donck had told

tales behind his back; the latter said the former lied,

and finally the host limited his guest to six meals more

in his house. Van der Donck and his family then

"crept into a hut" in the fort.

Meanwhile Van der Donck had successfully negoti-

ated a treaty with the Mohawks and had been granted

for his services the land called Nepperhaem (now

Yonkers). The same spring he set up a sawmill and

cleared a plantation. In 1652 it became the patroonship

of Colen Donck.

At this time Stuyvesant was making arbitrary arrests

and burdening the settlers with excessive taxation. Theboard of "Nine Men," of which Van der Donck was

president, soon took up these grievances and prepared

a memorial to the States General. The Governor, know-

821

ing that Van der Donck was a recognized leader, went

personally to the lawyer's room and seized his journal.

The next day Van der Donck was confined in his lodg-

ings, and his expulsion from the board followed. Hewas soon released, and lived for the next three years,

1 650-1 653, in Amsterdam, taking part in controversies

over Colonial affairs, pursuing legal studies at Leyden,

where he became a Doctor of Laws, and writing his

"Beschryvinge," or " Description of New Netherland."

Van der Donck, in 1652, prepared to sail with his

"wife, mother, sister, brother, servants and maids" for

America, but the West India Company refused to allow

him to leave Holland. Finally, perhaps on account of

his excellent book, or because they found it preferable

to have him at a distance, he was permitted late in

1653 to take passage.

In New Amsterdam he could practice his profession

only in so far as to give advice.

He married, 22 October, 1645, at tne Dutch Church,

in New York, Mary, daughter of the Rev. Francis

Doughty, of Newtown, Long Island. In 1664 Governor

Stuyvesant speaks of their children, but no record of

them has been discovered.

Van der Donck died in 1655, an<^ n *s widow moved

to Maryland. Some time after 1661 she married Cap-

tain Hugh O'Neal, of Patuxent.

This Portrait of Thomas Venner has been repro-

duced from a photograph lent by Mr. John Lane, the

London publisher. The picture is referred to on page

649 of Volume 2. It is one of the illustrations in "TheKing's Journalist, 1 659-1 689, Studies in the Reign of

Charles II," by J. G. Muddiman, published by Mr. Lane

in 1923. Mr. Lane was always most generous in shar-

ing his treasures with his friends.

In Chapter VII of the above-mentioned book will be

found much of interest in connection with the Anabap-

tist conspiracy against the government, and especially the

literary phases of the controversy. The author says:

"The first regicide executed was the Fifth Monarchy man,

Thomas Harrison, on October 13, who explicitly asserted that he

should return again in three days' time at the right hand of God,

to judge his judges. Pepys's remark about this was, 'His wife

do now expect him.' Another Fifth Monarchy man, John Carew,

followed on October 15, John Cooke and Hugh Peters on Oc-

tober 16, and others up to the 19th. In each case there were

aggravating crimes to be laid to the charge of the condemned men.

Cooke was known to have been a thief ; Axtell, formerly Hewson's

lieutenant-colonel, was excepted out of the Bill of Indemnity 'for

his murders and cruelties in Ireland,' and the madman Peters was

a notorious adulterer who had commanded a regiment in Ireland.

"In December, 1660, and not before, the first edition of a

fraudulent book, purporting to be the 'dying Speeches' of the

ten regicides, appeared. Undue credence has been given to this

book in modern times, but it proceeded upon the principle of con-

tradicting facts described by every known witness, was but one

of the anabaptist or Fifth Monarchy series initiated by Jessey,

issued in preparation for the rising which took place a month later

on, and should be read in conjunction with the manifesto then

distributed and its sequel, Mirabilis Annus.

825

"On the morning of Sunday, January 6, 1661, Venner, the

wine-cooper, preached a sermon to his congregation in Swan Alley,

Coleman Street, in which he stirred his people up to fight 'for

King Jesus,' and assured them that they should be invincible, for

'one should chase ten and ten should chase a thousand.'"

The author, from contemporary sources, paints HughPeter in dark colors, although relegating the most seri-

ous charges to his footnotes. Venner gets off with less

lashing.

THOMAS VENNERExecuted 1661

(827)

The Rev. John Woodbridge, named for his father,

was born at Stanton, in Wiltshire, about 1613. Forced

out of Oxford by the oath of conformity, he studied

privately, and in 1634 found an occasion to accompany

his uncle, the Rev. Thomas Parker, to New England.

He settled at Newbury, in Massachusetts, and was town

clerk there from 1635 to 1638. He perhaps returned

to England to settle his father's affairs, but was here

again soon after, and married, in 1639, Mercy, daughter

of Governor Dudley, meanwhile teaching school in Bos-

ton. In 1645 he was ordained pastor of the church at

Andover, having been stirred to activity by the governor

;

but in two years went back with his family to England,

where he remained for sixteen years, preaching and

teaching school. He returned to our Newbury in 1663

to become an assistant to his uncle, now a blind and aged

bachelor. From Parker, or from his life in England,

he sucked in a fondness for prelacy. Parker, described

as "a colt kicking against his dam," liked bishops (who

had been condemned by the elder Parker), and adored

"our most gracious and most excellent King Charles the

first."

The church was in a state of constant unrest for the

ten years which followed Mr. Woodbridge's arrival.

Bickerings over seating the congregation according to

social rank mingled with scandalous scenes incident to

exercise of ecclesiastical authority by Parker and Wood-bridge. Appeals were taken to the County Court in

1669, and to the Great and General Court in 1671.

Councils of the churches in these years advised that the

congregation "walk according to the rule of faith, love

829

and the order of the Gospel;" but not until the General

Court, in October, 1672, appointed a committee to clear

up the affair did Woodbridge retire.

He retained his residence in Newbury, and was "un-

usually prospered in his worldly circumstances.' ' Hewas authorized in 1677 to take depositions and acknowl-

edgments of deeds, and was soon appointed one of the

associate magistrates for Essex County. He was an

"Assistant" in 1683 and 1684, and was thus qualified

to punish criminals and solemnize marriages. "He had,"

says Savage, "little tendency to preach."

He died at the age of eighty-two, 17 March, 1695,

in great agony, having refused a glass of wine with the

words: "I am going where I shall have better."

Woodbridge was a reader and scholar; he possessed

extraordinary self-control, as well as dignity, and was

of a forgiving nature.

By Mrs. Woodbridge, who died 1 July, 1691, after

fifty years of wedlock, he left: (1) Sarah; (2) Lucy, the

PORTRAITSIN VOLUMES ONE AND TWO

RECONSIDERED HERE

THE BERKELEY PORTRAITS

These portraits are fortified by tradition and distinc-

tion to a degree that makes it extremely difficult to

approach the problem dispassionately. If the sitter is

a man of sixty, and is Sir William, the date of his por-

trait would be about 1666, since he was born about 1606.

From a study of costumes, we should expect at this period

his own hair rather than a wig, but as wigs were just

coming in, a large one with long ends might have been

worn. The sleeve end would be slashed, with silk under-

sleeve showing. The cravat would be shorter and of

lace. The costume in the portrait is reminiscent of

Kneller, Dahl, Jervas, or Richardson, the period of

1700-1720.

If similar details of wig, cravat, coat cuff, waistcoat

and pose cannot be found before the date of Berkeley's

death (1677), then the figure known as "Berkeley"

would seem to represent some one of a later period.

The wig in this Berkeley form appears in portraits done

from about the time of Berkeley's death on for half a

century. (See portraits mentioned under Lee.)

The long, plain cravat which appears to pass twice1

about the throat and is knotted the second time does

not appear much earlier than 1695 or 1700.

Examples

:

Samuel Heathcote, 16— to 17—, done 1694 (doc. evid.) by Daudet.

Alresford. Short cravat, wig forked over shoulder, tight coat

somewhat open, slit sleeve before the Berkeley type of cuff. Baker's

Lely, ii. 68.

1 A long, plain cravat passing once round the neck and knotted loosely appears

as early as 1667 (portrait of Pepys), but the Berkeley form came in a generation

later.

Cravat like Berkeley's, sleeve not shown, cap over wig, coat and

waistcoat like Berkeley's. Williamson's Hist. Portr. Min. i. 98.

The cuff in this simple form, short and without braid,

does not appear much earlier than 17 10. The unusually

early example in Kneller's Waller at Rousham, done

according to Vertue's engraving in 1684, seems to meto be a turned-over sleeve end rather than a cuff.

Examples of the cuff are to be found in

:

John Radcliffe, 1650-1714, done 1712 by Kneller. Radcliffe's

Trustees, Oxford. Cravat medium length, buttons, -cuffs but no

braid, waistcoat seen, wig high, parted and forked over shoulder.

The waistcoat is not always discernible in costumes

where it may exist, but it appears in a portrait of John

Patch by William Gandy( ?), assigned by Baker to about

1700-17 1 2 (Baker's Lely, ii. 62). We see it also in Sir

Cloudesley Shovell (1702 by Dahl-Greenwich Hospital;

Baker's Lely, ii. 98) and the First Baron Walpole, done

about 1 7 10 (National Portrait Gallery Historical Por-

traits, 1 700-1 800, page 62).

The above facts suggest 1 690-1 700 as a possible date

for Berkeley, but a survey of the field certainly leaves

one uneasy at so early a date. One would not expect

all these details of costume to be found grouped in a

single portrait at the period of the first appearance of

each form in England. Perhaps 17 10-1720 would be

a safer period.

The almost absolute similarity of form and pose of

the hands in a portrait of the 4th Earl of Orrery by

Jervas (Cust's National Portrait Gallery, i. 231), done

after 1705, should not be overlooked. The cuff, cravat,

and wig do not differ materially from those of Berkeley.

The hands in the portrait of the First Baron Walpole

(artist not known) in the National Portrait Gallery

(about 1 7 10) are strikingly like those of Berkeley.

Since the tradition is very strong that the canvases

came down from the Ludwells (Philip married Lady

Berkeley, the widow), it would seem reasonable to as-

sume that the man is Philip, who died about 1724,1 the

woman still being Lady Berkeley (Mrs. Ludwell), who

died in 1700; but it must be remembered that the por-

traits probably were not made just as the sitters were

about to die. If Philip Ludwell I and Lady Berkeley

had been depicted at the ages shown, the costumes would

appear to have been of earlier types.

1 Mr. Cazenove G. Lee, Jr., writes: "We now know that Philip Ludwell I

lived until about 1724, when a kinsman in England, writing to Philip Ludwell II

in Virginia, states that he has ' put on four mourning rings for your father.'

"

839

The next Ludwell generation has the right dates, and

if we consider the Philip II and Hannah of this genera-

tion as the sitters, the ascription presents a curious sub-

ject for study. Philip II, 1 662-1 726/7, married Han-

nah Harrison, 167 8-1 731, sister of Sarah, the wife of

Commissary Blair. Sarah's portrait we have, and a

student of physiognomy may well consider whether the

woman called "Lady Berkeley" and the Mrs. Blair could

be sisters, judged by their features and expression.

The original portrait, called Philip Ludwell II, now

not very distinct, seems to indicate that the sitter wears

a lace front or a ruffled cravat, a style in vogue later

than 1720. Philip III was born about 1700, and in 1750

would be old enough to fit the picture.

The so-called Lucy (Higginson) Ludwell portrait1 has

slit sleeves, caught up by clasps, earrings and necklace

which point to the period of 1 650-1 690, the Lucy Higgin-,

son era, and although fashions are so recurrent that one

makes an assertion with proper caution, the portrait

seems well named as Lucy, wife successively of Lewis

Burwell, Col. William Bernard, and Philip Ludwell I.

To sum up: The so-called Lucy, wife of Philip Lud-

well I, seems reasonable. The Sir William and Lady

Berkeley could well represent Philip Ludwell II and his

wife, Hannah. The so-called Philip Ludwell II could

easily represent Philip III. But where the severing of

so many traditions is involved the reassignment of any

of the group is extremely hazardous. "Lady Berkeley's"

dress suggests one of Jonathan Richardson's portraits

done about 17 10 or a little later, but the dress belongs

EVERARDUS BOGARDUS

This portrait has little to aid the investigator except

the wig and the ecclesiastical bands. Wigs have been

in use off and on from remote antiquity, and are of value

in determining the validity of a portrait only as to the

customs of a restricted period. The period here is, let

us say, 1 630-1 647, and in Holland or New Amsterdam.

Rembrandt's portraits cover the time in which Bogardus

preached. His work exhibits no portrait with bands or

wig, although he portrayed several ministers. Soon after

1647, when Bogardus died, the natural hair was, in

England at least, worn long, and the square collar some-

times looked not unlike bands, as in the portrait of Rev.

Richard Kingston (1665). It is conceivable that this

picture is a dim original, repainted to meet the restorer's

imperfect knowledge of costume, or a copy altered by

a later artist. Something of the kind was done with a

portrait known as the Rev. George Keith. Such a change

also appears in the portrait of Gov. Simon Bradstreet

at the State House in Boston, where the cravat is too

late, but the face is the same as in the recently discov-

ered original now owned by the Boston Athenaeum. This

is a case of the value of tradition set off against the evi-

dential value of costume.

If we say ( 1 ) that the wig is like that of Rev. Ber-

nardus Freeman, whose portrait was published in 1721,1

and accept the statement (2) that the picture represents

a clergyman of the "Reformed" or "Collegiate Church

of New York," then it would seem to represent the

Rev. Gualterus Du Bois (1 666-1 751), who officiated

1 See page 247 of this work.

845

from 1699 to 175 1. His portrait in old age is given

at page 243. It may, however, be Bogardus, with a wig

added by a restorer.

The portrait is reproduced in the New York Genea-

logical and Biographical Record for July, 1925, and is

referred to in the issue for October, page 397.

CAPTAIN THOMAS CARTER

A work on the Descendants of Capt. Thomas Carter,

19 1 2, page 98, reproduces this picture as Capt. Thomas

Carter, Jr., 1 672-1 733. See also page 612 of Volume 2.

The Carter, Dale, Berkeley, Lee, Hill, and Corbin

portraits, taken together, give one the impression that

the country gentlemen of Virginia who reached ages from

thirty-five to fifty about 17 10 had their portraits painted

during that general period. The costumes which they

wore and the poses which they assumed for portraiture

do not permit scattering the dates of sitting through

an era reaching from 1675 to 1750. Reference should

also be made to the similarity of frames referred to

on page 874 of this volume. If most or all of these

gentlemen were not early seventeenth century immi-

grants (and they were not), they were citizens who

were painted in or near the first quarter of the eighteenth

century.

THE CORBIN PORTRAITS

Miss Hardy, in her "Colonial Families of the Southern

States," reproduces this so-called "Henry Corbin," with

the note: "His portrait by an eminent artist, in his robes

of office as councilor of state of the Commonwealth of

England, is still preserved in the family at MountAiry, Richmond Co. Va. the home of the Tayloes."

(Page 172.)

There is, as far as I know, no contemporary reference

to a portrait of Henry Corbin. The costume of the so-

called Henry Corbin portrait, now owned by the Tayloe

family at their home, Mt. Airy, seems too late for

Henry. Who, then, is represented? The wig is sub-

stantially like the "Lee" and "Hill," and should, there-

fore, be about 1690-17 10. The cravat in this form is

of the same period. 1 The clasp covers a wide era as

used by women, although its use by men was more com-

mon from 1695 to 17 1 5 than at other periods.

This seems to make "Corbin" nearly contemporary

with Lee and Hill; possibly a little earlier, as he has

clasps where the others wear buttons. Corbin's open

coat reminds one of the coat in William Randolph's por-

trait, and of that worn by John Walley, both done about

1700-1710.

It seems reasonable, then, to suppose that the com-

bination of wig, cravat, and clasps would assign the

1 This form of cravat was in fashion after the Battle of Steinkirk (1694) and

was referred to on the stage as early as 1697. A very different type—a short

scarf or cravat with fringed ends, wound once round the neck and tied very

loosely under the chin—appears as early as 1666 in a portrait of Jeremy Smith,

and in a likeness of Samuel Pepys (1667). The more formal style came into use

much later.

"Corbin" to the period of 1 690-1 710. This would be

from fifteen to thirty-five years after Corbin's death.

One difficulty in dealing with the "Corbin" portrait

is in the lack of cuffs, but the few known coats with

of Richard Corbin who married Elizabeth Tayloe.

but at that time wigs were not used, and long cravats rarely.

Probably GAWIN CORBIN

(*SS)

This interesting testimony seems to show:

i . That this was supposed to be the father of Richard.

The father's name, however, was Gawin, not Henry.

2. The date "1650," which has no significance in

connection with Henry, is the birth year of Gawin. In

1650 Henry was twenty-one years of age, too young to

be "a councilor of state." It is not the costume of

1650.

3. We know that a portrait of Gawin was painted

because it is mentioned in 17 14 as part of his brother-

in-law, Richard Lee's, estate.

It will be said that the face in the portrait is young

for Gawin. 1It seems easier, however, to assume that

the artist flattered his sitter with an air of youth than

to assign the picture to Henry with an impossible cos-

tume. Tradition, confused as it is, seems to point to

Gawin Corbin as the sitter, and tradition has some con-

tributory value. Gawin's son, Richard, was born in 1708,

and reached the age of the sitter too late for serious

consideration.

857

1 The portraits of John Boiling, Simon Bradstreet, and John Walley illustrate

the problem of the age of the sitter.

THE HILL PORTRAITS

The Hill portrait is evidently of the same period as

the Lee, but Col. Edward Hill, of "Shirley," who is

invariably referred to as the person depicted here, was

born in 1637 and died in 1700. It is not the likeness

of a man in old age, but of one at the age of thirty-five

to forty-five. The Col. Edward Hill born in 1637

reached this period about 1675,1 much too early a date

for the wig here seen (see list of examples under the

"Lee"), and the cravat which Hill wears (see the

"Berkeley"). It must be a case of confusion of iden-

tity, this Colonel Hill having been much more prominent

than his son of the same name. The son, Edward Hill,

collector of customs on James River in 17 16, is a singu-

larly vague personality, usually eliminated from pedi-

grees of the family, although the grouping of dates

would seem to convince the student that he and not his

father was the parent of that Miss Elizabeth Hill whocarried the estate of "Shirley" to the Carters.

The "Mrs. Hill" of the portrait has always been

known as Elizabeth Williams, wife of Col. Edward

Hill. The younger Edward's wife is never mentioned

in accounts of the family. If she was Hannah, the widow

of Edward Fielding, as seems possible, she was allied

when young to a family that had been portrayed from

very early days, as shown by the possession of portraits

by Ambrose Fielding, the immigrant. The pose and

cloak recall the portrait of Sarah, Duchess of Marlbo-

rough, done by Kneller (Baker says by Dahl) about 1694

1 See portrait of John Freke, born in 1635, on page 391 of Volume 2.

863

(National Portrait Gallery). If done at the same

period, Mrs. Hill would be about twenty-five. Thelocks brushed forward over either temple is perhaps an

imitation of Queen Mary of Modena's fashion, which

appears in a portrait by Wissing, done about 1681. Wesee it again in Sophia Dorothea, Queen of Prussia, mother

of Frederick the Great, by Hirschmann, done, perhaps,

about 1706 (National Portrait Gallery), and also in

the portrait of Anne Oldfield by Richardson, done, per-

haps, about 1 7 10. (Cust's National Portrait Gallery,

i. 241.) A portrait of Arabella Cavendish, done in

1685, with a flower in the hair, shows that flowers were

worn throughout the time when the picture may have

been painted.

If portraits of this type, on the other hand, are to

be assigned to the period of 1725, when Evelyn Byrd's

portrait was done, she would more probably be the

daughter of Edward III, collector of Customs, and the

wife of John Carter. 1

But the fact that the Hill portraits are "in similar

frames to those of the Berkeleys and Elder Lees—but

not identical in pattern"—would add some weight to the

contention that the pictures represent man and wife, and

therefore Edward Hill III and his wife.

The Hill pedigree has some obscure points, but ap-

pears to be:

in 1723. This portrait is by Charles Bridges, whom we first know of about 1735."

THE LEE PORTRAIT

This portrait appears in the "History of the Lee

Family," published in 1895, but no story of its authen-

ticity is given other than a quotation from William Lee's

MS., as follows:

"Richard Lee, of a good family in Shropshire (and

whose Picture I am told is now at Cotton, near Bridge-

north, the seat of Launcelot Lee, Esqr.), some time in

the Reign of Charles the first, went over to the Colony

of Virginia, as Secretary, and one of the King's Privy

Council. . .."

The author of "Lee of Virginia" then goes on to

say:

"These few lines, written by William Lee in 1771,

give the earliest information (now to be found) of

Richard Lee, the progenitor of the Lee family, whose

history this volume records. From his statement, it is

learned that Richard Lee was descended from the Coton

branch of the Lees of Shropshire.

"As to the portrait of Richard Lee ever having been

at Coton, there is now no record of any such portrait.

Mr. William Blackstone Lee has lately inspected the por-

traits that were formerly at Coton. 'The two unknown

Lee portraits,' he writes, 'are fine pictures, said to be

by Sir Peter Lely. But I do not think either of them

could have been Colonel Richard. I cannot say positively

that the elder of the two (tradition says they are father

and son) could not to my mind by any possibility have

been the Colonel, but I should be very much surprised

to find that it was.' Whether or no his portrait was ever

at Coton, the inference is plain that William Lee in-

869

tended his reader to understand that Richard Lee was

descended from the Coton branch of the Shropshire

family."

Whether this reproduction claims to be a print from

a portrait found at Coton, the English home of a branch

873

of the Lee family, or reproduced from a painting now

in America, I have been unable to learn. The creases

in the sleeve of this portrait are so similar to those in

the Hill that one would suppose that they were done

by the same artist either in England or in Virginia.

We must assume (i) that it is a "Richard Lee" or

be lost in the maze of a thousand possibilities. We must

also assume (2) that it represents a man of about thirty-

five or forty years of age, and painted, judging from

the costume, about 1700-17 20. The best, if not the

only candidate, then, would seem to be that Richard

Lee III (1678/9-1718), a London merchant, who mar-

ried Martha Silk. The long-standing contention that

the picture represents Richard Lee, the immigrant, whoreached the age shown in the picture in 1640 or 1650,

would assign it to the period of wide white, lace-edged

collars. To make a radical reassignment in the face

of a strong tradition would require great courage. Wecan merely state the case and await further information.

Mrs. Anne Lee's case is similar to Richard's.

After the above was written I received from Mr.

Cazenove G. Lee, Jr., the very interesting information

that "these portraits [called Richard I and wife] are

handsomely framed, the frames being of an especially

fine style of carving. Strangely enough, the Berkeley

portraits are in frames having a similar design to these

two Lee pictures. ... In this connection it should be

noted that the portraits of Edward Hill, of Shirley-on-

the-James, and Elizabeth Williams, 1 his wife, are in

similar frames to those of the Berkeleys and Elder Lees

—but not identical in pattern."

THE MATHER PORTRAITS

On page 581 of Volume 2 a portrait is reproduced

from the original in the American Antiquarian Society.

The Society has labelled it "Samuel Mather [?] 1626-

167 1." This Samuel was never portrayed, it was said,

in 1679 by Nathaniel, and Dr. John Appleton suggested

Nathaniel himself, 1 631-1697, a brother of Samuel, be-

cause Nathaniel's portrait was painted in 1682.

The following letter from Mr. Clarence S. Brigham,

Librarian of the American Antiquarian Society, Worces-

ter, Mass., should be kept in mind in any discussion of

this picture:

"There is one important record regarding these portraits which

should not be overlooked. In our earliest accession book under

date of October 14, 1815, is this entered 'Half length likenesses

of the Rev. Richard Mather of Dorchester, Rev. Drs. Increase,

Cotton and Samuel Mather, of Boston; and the Rev'd Samuel

Mather of Dublin, in large frames. (Taken from the persons,

who are represented when alive.) Presented by Mrs. Hannah

Crocker.'

"This certainly proves that the portrait which came to us was

regarded by the Mather family, at the time, to be the portrait of

Samuel Mather, of Dublin. When Dr. John Appleton wrote his

article suggesting that this portrait might be of Nathaniel, he did

not know of this entry, nor apparently did Mr. Haven, librarian

of this Society.

"As you have noticed, Bentley specifically stated in 1804 that

he saw the portrait of Samuel Mather, of Dublin. That gives us

two records, one in 1804 and the other in 1 8 15, each independent

of the other, stating that this portrait was that of Samuel, of Dublin.

"Of course I have always realized that Nathaniel Mather's

87s

statement, made in 1679, that his brother Samuel's picture had

not been painted, so far as he knew ('that I can here of was his

exact expression)."

This portrait on page 581 represents without doubt

the same person as the one in Calamy's "Nonconform-

ist's Memorial," Volume 2, page 355 (London, 1802),

which is there said to be of "Samuel Mather from an

original painting in the possession of Mr. Townsend,

Holborn." This was engraved by Bocquet, and faces to

the right, as does the Worcester painting. It was en-

graved to accompany a sketch of Samuel, 1 626-1 671.

This attribution in 1802 seems to accord with Bentley's

in 1804. But the British Museum has a portrait of

"Samuel Mather Crescent. Fil.," painted by R. Philips1

and engraved by T. Simon. This seems clearly to de-

pict the same face as the other two portraits, and it

certainly has the same details of costume. The Worces-

ter portrait, therefore, probably represents the son of

Increase, the Rev, Samuel Mather, Presbyterian minister

at Witney, in Oxfordshire, who was born in 1674, and

died about 1 736-1 745. If so, the "of Dublin" was a

slip for "of Witney," and has been perpetuated.

The American Antiquarian Society owns also a Samuel

Mather portrait, in an oval, and with staring eyes and

short wig, where the sitter faces to the left. This is

said to represent Rev. Cotton Mather's son, Samuel,

1 706-1 785, and Mr. Lawrence Park attributes it to

John Greenwood, the painter, who lived from 1727 to

1792.

1 Richard Philips painted portraits c. 1 720-1 740.

Rev. William Bentley, in his "Diary," Volume 3, page

104, says that "the heads of Richard [1596-1669],

Increase [1639-1723], Cotton [1663-1728], Samuel

of America [1706-1785?] & of Samuel of Dublin [i.e.

of Witney?] & of Nathaniel of London [1 631-1697,

son of Richard] yet remain, but their situation does not

promise their long preservation" (August 16, 1804).

The Richard and Increase (in old age) were good like-

nesses. That of Increase in Palmer's "Calamy's Non-

conformist's Memorial" is probably a fancy sketch (NewEngland Historical and Genealogical Register, vi. 19).

Nathaniel's may not have been seen by Bentley.

Bentley says that Cotton's portrait looks like that of

Samuel, "whom I intimately knew." Bentley, writing

in 1804, could have known only the Samuel who died

in 1785, so that this must be the "Samuel of America"

referred to above. "Samuel of Dublin" must, I think,

be a slip for "Samuel of Witney," as I have indicated

above.

Possibly the portrait of Samuel of Witney came to

his nephew, Samuel of Boston, who left at the time of

879

his death "17 family pictures." We have seen, how-

ever, that a portrait with the features of ''Samuel Mather

Crescent Fil" was owned by a Mr. Townsend, of Hol-

born, in 1802; probably Mrs. Crocker obtained it be-

fore 1 8 15 and bequeathed it to the Antiquarian Society.

The same or another (according to J. L. Sibley) was

owned by Miss J. Mather, of Newcastle, about 1840;

this may have been Nathaniel's portrait. Samuel was

not starred as dead in the Harvard Triennial Catalogue

of 1736, but was starred in 1745.

In connection with this question the reader should

consult Dr. Kenneth B. Murdock's "The Portraits of

Increase Mather," Cleveland, 1924, pages 50-55, and

plate IX.

An ancient portrait said to represent Mrs. Lydia Lee

(George) Mather, third wife of Cotton Mather, was

given to the Connecticut Historical Society in 1844. It

is no longer to be found, having perhaps disintegrated.

880

PORTRAIT OF ROBERT PIKE

A more thorough investigation of the history of the

so-called portrait of Major Robert Pike, reproduced on

page 445 of Volume 2 of " Portraits of the Founders,"

reveals the fact that the portrait was given to the

Massachusetts Historical Society in 1836 by Mrs. Wil-

liam King Atkinson, of Dover, New Hampshire. It

was then described as "a portrait of Robert Pike, Esq.,

son of the Rev. John Pike of Dover." The indexer

of the Society's Proceedings treated the portrait as rep-

resenting not the son of the Rev. John, but his famous

father, the Major. This error has persisted for nearly

one hundred years, because Major Robert Pike was a

famous man, and a portrait of him was naturally in

demand.

In such genealogies of the family as are accessible,

notably "The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury"

by Hoyt, the son of the Rev. John receives scant no-

tice. He is, however, referred to as Dr. Robert Pike,

born 6 February, 1685, and uliv. 17 17." A statement is

also made that a Robert Pike married, 22 May, 171 1,

Elizabeth Atkinson. We find, upon investigation, that

Dr. Robert Pike was a prominent man in Portsmouth,

where his name appears in many public records, down

to the time of his death in 1731. He appears to have

lived on the highway to Colonel Packer's, just west of

James Jaffry or Jeffrys. Administration of his estate

was granted 15 December, 1731, his brother Solomon

Pike renouncing.

881

In 1737 another Robert Pike, manner, of Portsmouth,

made his will, and from the relationships mentioned he

would seem to have been an only son of Dr. Robert

Pike. He mentions his uncles, Theodore Atkinson,

Solomon Pike ; Solomon's two sons, Nathaniel and Joshua

;

and his cousins, Samuel Gardner, Sarah Pike, and Sarah

Sims. After satisfying several legacies and his debts,

his estate, both real and personal, was left to Theodore

Atkinson, and from Theodore, no doubt, the picture of

Dr. Robert Pike came down to Mrs. William King

Atkinson, who, in 1836, gave it to the Massachusetts

Historical Society. The wig, cravat, buttonholes, and

cuffs, as well as the age of the person depicted in the

portrait, all harmonize with the assumption that this is

indeed the portrait of Dr. Pike, as was certainly the

statement in 1836. The portrait has so often been re-

produced as that of the Major that one hesitates to run

contrary to a tradition so firmly established, but the

evidence here given seems reasonable and conclusive that

this is a portrait of Dr. Robert Pike, 168 5-1 731, of

Portsmouth in New Hampshire.

THOMAS SMITH

In Mrs. Stanard's "Colonial Virginia," page 290, may

be seen a portrait of the Signer, Thomas Nelson, when

a boy at Hackney School, England, in 1754. The cravat,

collar, buttons, etc., are so nearly like those in the Smith

portrait, that this Smith portrait must represent a mem-

ber of the same generation, done when at school abroad.

A glance at Lionel Cust's "Eton College Portraits" (Lon-

don, 1 9 10) will strengthen the probability that this is

the schoolboy's dress of the 1750 period. A decade later

older men used the same type of collar in America.

In Mrs. Harriette K. Leiding's "Historic Houses of

South Carolina" (1921), opposite page 30, this or a

similar portrait is reproduced as a half-length figure, the

right hand thrust under his coat, the left arm pressing

his hat to his side. Perhaps it is by Jeremiah Theus,

17 19-1774.

Evidently, then, this is not a portrait of Thomas Smith

( 1 669-1738 ) , although bearing the date 1 69 1 . His son,

Thomas, was born in 1691 (the date on the canvas),

but would have been too old in 1750 for the boy in the

picture. Possibly this Thomas was supposed to be rep-

resented and the date added for him. If so, a son of

his may be the person portrayed.

"ELIZABETH STODDARD" AND THEROBERTS PORTRAITS

When Volume two of "The Founders" was in prepa-

ration, I obtained, through the kindness of Miss Eliza-

beth W. Perkins, a photograph of a portrait of a little

girl, the original owned by the Hon. James W. Gerard,

of New York, and said to represent Elizabeth Richard-

son, wife, later, of David Stoddard. Since the publica-

tion of the volume I have been able to study the corre-

spondence of the Roberts and Shrimpton families, owned

by Charles Pelham Greenough, Esq. So little informa-

tion of this character has survived that the following

extracts from letters are of more than ordinary interest.

They are all written by Nicholas Roberts to Mrs. Samuel

Shrimpton, his daughter, and to her husband. I have

added punctuation, and a capital letter at the beginning

of each sentence.

My picktur is drawne to send you. If I should prevayle with

your mother to have hurs drawn would have sent it now, but if

I cannot prevaile I shall send you mine, therefore tell betty I doe

not forget my promise, and I hope shee and you will not forgett

yours, as to lett us see you within your promised time (London,

20th July, 1671).

. . . When you see Mr. Wally, the minister, remember my

kind respects to him, & acquaint him yt my mother baker is in

good health, shee hath been with us all this winter, & doth present

her love to you and my daughter; soe doth your sisters. Your

sister Mary would fayne come to [bring?] her sister over & to

welcome [them ?] in ye shipe. My two youngest are but weakly

children, but my boy I hope hath outgrown his weaknesse & runs

up and down stoutly

889

. . . my mother baker and sister baker of Uxbridge is at present

with us

(london, 29th Apprill, 1674)

... I am glad to here that your wife with my daughter &your littell ones are in good health ; only yt Samuell is soe weake

we are sorry for

. . . Your young sister, Kathren, is a thriving child, & your

brother Nicholas hath outgrown all his weaknesse. . . . Pray you

tell my daughter yt hur mothers pickture is now drawn & min

also & shall send them by the next conveyance yt wee can have;

if Capt foster goe not before the frames are finished shall come

by him. Your two sisters will send afterwards if desired (Lon-

don, 4th Sept. 1674)

. . . You will receive by Capt foster case sewed up in canvas

wh your marke upon it ^ in which is mine & your mothers pick-

tures. Your mothers is dun well, & I leav you to give your judg-

ment of mine. . . . Your mother & sisters, my mother baker,

brother John, & sister baker, desire to be remembered unto you

& my daughter with my kindst love to you both (London, 23th

Sept., 1674)

[These] are to acquainte you that through the goodness of the

lord we are all in good health. In my last I acquainted you with

the pleasure of the lord in taking from us your yonge sister Katrin

which hath been no small trouble to us.

And also your sister was as I hinted to you not well, but I

prayse ye lord she is now well recovered, & I myselfe have been

a prissonor to my chamber about 10 dayes. ... I have sent you

in a case yours and your wifes picktures with your grandmothers

and your three sisters. When your sister Kathrine was drawn we

littell thought ye curtaine would have been soe soon drawne. . . .

don, 3 May, 1675)

Called

MRS. ELIZABETH STODDARDProbably

KATHERINE ROBERTSDied 1675

(891)

From the above extracts it is evident that Nicholas

Roberts, of London, sent over in 1675, to his son-in-

law, Samuel Shrimpton, of Boston, eight pictures,

representing

:

I. Mrs. Baker (mother)

II. Nicholas Roberts (Mrs. Baker's son-in-law)

III. Mrs. Roberts (her daughter)

IV. Colonel Shrimpton (Mrs. Roberts's son-in-law)

V. Mrs. Shrimpton (her daughter)

VI. Mary Roberts (her daughter)

VII. Sarah Roberts (her daughter)

VIII. Katherine Roberts (her daughter who died)

The whereabouts of these portraits is a problem for

the investigator. The portrait owned by Miss Elizabeth

W. Perkins, of Boston, one of the group owned by the

Shrimptons, and later by Gen. W. H. Sumner, repre-

sents a woman of sixty or seventy-five years of age. 1 Wehave evidence that Mrs. Shrimpton was born about 1650,

and was an older daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roberts.

If her mother was born about 1625, she would be fifty

years of age in 1675, when the portrait of the "old

lady" was done. She would then be Mrs. Nicholas

Roberts. It seems to me, however, that the "old lady"

is older than sixty, and therefore that this is a portrait

of "mother Baker," mother of Mrs. Nicholas Roberts;

she spent the winter with her children in London. If

this were a portrait of Mrs. Roberts and not Mrs. Baker,

the widow, we should expect to hear of the picture of

Mr. as well as of Mrs. Roberts. The question is quite

debatable, but I think Mrs. Baker is a safer guess.

1 There is a photograph in the Boston Athenaeum.

893

The portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Roberts

may have been returned to England after the death of

Nicholas Roberts, Jr., in 1714,1 or may have been taken

to Antigua by the Shrimpton heiress, who married John

Yeamans. We cannot as yet suggest any portraits that

may represent them. The portraits of Mr. and Mrs.

Samuel Shrimpton are owned by the Massachusetts His-

torical Society.

Mary Roberts married Sir Robert Breeden, and her

portrait may have been returned to her in England.

Sarah Roberts married John Richardson, and their

daughter married first, Samuel Shrimpton, Jr., of Boston

(whose line died out), and then David Stoddard, of

Boston, in whose line there is still a portrait which once

belonged to the Shrimpton group—that of a young

woman shielding her dress from a fountain by a robe.

The costume might do for 1675, although it seems

to have been more in fashion in 1665. On the whole,

this may well be a portrait of Sarah (Roberts) Richard-

son. It is owned by Mr. Malcolm S. Greenough, of

Boston (1923).

The portrait of a little girl, with the family lace on

her dress,2 given in "The Founders;" page 477, as Eliza-

beth, daughter of Mrs. Sarah (Roberts) Richardson

(following tradition), may well represent "Katrin," the

little girl who died.

1 Nicholas Roberts, 3d, may have returned to the family property in Grace

Church Street, London; in 1725 one of this name appears on the records of

St. Benet's Church, near the same street.

2 The "tape and needlework" lace seen in this picture and in that of Mrs.

Shrimpton is similar to that worn by "mother Baker." The same type appears

in a fine portrait by Pieter Van Lint (1609-1690) at Budapest. An account of

her lace and samplers was given by Georgiana W. Sargent in The Bulletin of the

Needle and Bobbin Club for April, 1920.

JOHN WALLEY

This picture illustrates the contending forces of tradi-

tional attribution and an attribution based on a study

of ascertainable facts.

The picture was reproduced in Freeman's "History

of Cape Cod," published in 1858, as a boy of twelve,

later famous as Major General Walley, and described

as "B 1654 (sic) D 17 12." His friends called him

Major Walley, by the way, and in reality he was a lieu-

tenant general. Freeman copied the picture, by permis-

sion of Samuel Hurd Walley, and no doubt obtained

the ascription from him. Samuel was for forty-five years

a contemporary of his father, Samuel Hall Walley, and

so doubtless received the tradition from him. Samuel

Hall's life for twenty-eight years overlapped that of his

father, Thomas (1725-1806), and Thomas lived for

twenty years before his father, John, Jr., died (1691-

1745). Could there be more favorable conditions for

the accuracy of tradition than these? The descent of

the present owner has been as follows:

John ( 1 691-1745), son of Major Walley, had a son,

Thomas (1725-1806), whose son, Thomas (1768-

1 848 ) , had a daughter, Anne Hurd. She married Calvin

Ainger, whose daughter, Caroline, married Peace Vernon.

These were the parents of Grenville Vernon, the present

owner (1920) of the John Walley portrait.

Looking at the portrait of "John Walley" from an-

other point of view, some difficulties are encountered.

(1) The cravat, brought round the neck and turned

over or twisted, the ends buttoned down, does not ap-

899

pear in portraits reproduced in books until after Walley

(if born in 1644) was in middle life. The earliest forms

similar to that worn by Walley noticed are seen in por-

traits of:

1 In Farrer's Portraits in Suffolk Houses a portrait at Euston Hall called

Charles, Marquess of Worcester (page 114), has a twisted or "turned over"

cravat and clasps. He was born in 1660, and the date of the portrait would be

about 1672. This seems to me much too early a date for the costume, judged by

every standard. It may represent his kinsman, the second Duke of Beaufort, born

in 1684. Mr. Farrer writes me that he agrees with this statement.

forty-four and sixty-four years of age. The mouth and

hand1 are not in conflict with this period of life, but the

portrait as a whole seems to me to depict a youth of

less than half this age, or in other words, John Walley, Jr.

(1691-1745).

( 2 ) The frame has for decoration a four-petal flower

or quatrefoil, with two leaves pendant. I have found

three portraits with similar frames (doubtless there are

more). These represent the Pepperells—Andrew, his

wife, and Dorothy. Andrew married in 1707 and died

in 1 7 13. Between these dates the pictures probably

were done. Dorothy was born in 1698, and is said to

be thirteen in the picture, making the date of the paint-

ing 171 1. This would seem to be a reasonable date for

Walley also, if we assume that Walley is twenty years

old in the painting and that he was the Major's son,

born in 1691. The picture, of course, may have been

done two or three years earlier than 171 1.

1 A curiously similar treatment of a hand may be seen in the portrait called

Jeremias Van Rensselaer, given on page 596 of this work.

COMMENTS ON PORTRAITS

"Addison, Col. John"The frontispiece portrait in "One hundred years ago;

the life and times of Rev. Walter Dulany Addison,"

by Elizabeth Hesselius Murray, represents a man of

about forty, with wig and coat a little later than those

of Richard Lee and Edward Hill, and with coat and

waistcoat ornamented with a design in braid along the

edge. This ornate form of coat was rarely used before

the middle of the Eighteenth Century. He has a ruffled

cravat depending from a band about the throat. This

form of cravat followed the long, plain cravat or Steen-

kirk, and came into fashion not earlier than about 1720,

persisting thereafter until the time of the Revolution.

Col. John Addison died in 1706, before this form of

cravat came into use, and before the waistcoat became

common. His son, Col. Thomas Addison, was born in

1679 and died in 1727. Colonel Thomas has several

sons. A son, John, born in 17 13, reached the age of

forty when the costume, in all its details, would seem

to be in fashion. Col. Thomas Addison may be the

person represented, but both name and period are better

served by John Addison (1713-1764). The portrait is

owned (1923) by Mr. Anthony C. Addison, 1910, Sun-

derland Place, Washington, D. C.

Ames, Rev. William.

On page 2 of Volume one there is a reference to a

portrait of the Rev. William Ames, D.D., astat. 57,

1633, at Harvard College. An interesting comment on

this portrait by Mr. Clifford B. Clapp will be found in

the Publications of the Colonial Society of Massachu-

setts, Volume 25, pages 80-83.

Bacot, Pierre.

Thomas Wright Bacot, Esq., of Charleston, has lent

me cabinet photographs (by Winburn, of Sumter, South

Carolina) of the original pictures of this Pierre Bacot

(born in France, and an emigrant in 1685 with father

and brother), his sister Elizabeth (born in Carolina

and the wife of Jonas Bonhoste), and his (Pierre's)

second wife, Marie Peronneau. The originals were

owned long ago by Richard Wainwright Bacot. Pierre's

eyes were brown, his hair black, and his clothes were

gray-black. Pierre's will mentions a portrait of his first

wife, the widow of Jacques du Gue, which he left to her

daughter, Mrs. Tobias Fitch. This portrait cannot now

be found, nor are portraits of Pierre's father and mother

known to exist.

Mr. John Vacher Bacot, Jr., of Utica, New York,

owns pastel copies of these three portraits. In each case

the oval includes less of the figure of the sitter than was

included in the original. The slashed and buckled sleeves

of the ladies do not show. In Elizabeth's portrait the

chair disappears, and there are no curls on her left

shoulder. In Marie's the curtain at the left is missing,

and also a lock of hair along the line of her neck. In

911

Pierre's something at the back—perhaps a chair—is left

out. Moreover the features in each case are less finely

cut and less refined than in the originals. This is espe-

cially true of Marie's portrait.

Bellingham, Richard, i592( ?)-i672. Governor.

Through the courtesy of Mr. Thomas B. Clarke,

owner of the canvas, Mr. Charles X. Harris brought it

to Boston for examination on February 10, 1925. The

hair is brown, the cap black, the eyes brown, the cloak

scarlet, edged with black velvet, the coat the dead black

of broadcloth. The stretcher is of thin hardwood, and

measures 19 X 21 J4 inches. The portrait has never been

rebacked, and bears on the reverse this inscription:

Gov1" Ri Bellingham Effiegies

Delin Boston Anno Dom. 1641

^tatis 49, W. R.

The pedigree of the portrait follows:

At the death of the Governor it passed to his widow.

At her death, in 1702, her nephew, Capt. Edward

Pelham (1639-1730), of Newport, inherited it. At

the death of his son, Edward Pelham, Jr., in 1741, it

went to his daughter, Penelope, wife of Joseph Crowley,

of Newport. From her it passed to her daughter, Hen-

rietta, wife of Lt. Jaheel Brenton, R.N. His estate

was confiscated, and sold to Ebenezer Burrill, who moved

the portrait to New York, where he died in 1839. At

the death of Mrs. Burrill in 1841, it passed to their

son, Alexander M. Burrill, a noted legal writer, who

died in 1869 in New Jersey. Mr. Clarke obtained it

from the heirs.

912

All that is known and conjectured regarding W. R.

is contained in the following statement by Mr. Charles

X. Harris:

The reasons for believing that the initials W. R. stand for William

Read, who in 1641 painted an oil portrait of Governor Bellingham

and lettered it on the back of the original canvas that has never been

relined, are as follows:

At the time this portrait was painted in Boston in 1641, there were

three persons named William Read of maturity living in the Colony.

1. William Read of Woburn, Massachusetts, was an uneducated

man, who signed his name with an X mark.

2. William Read of Weymouth, Massachusetts, was a farmer with

unknown affiliations.

3. William Read, of Batcombe, England, who came to Weymouth,Massachusetts, in 1635, resided there until 1646, when he removed

to Boston, where he lived until 1674. He died at or near Norwich,

Connecticut, in 1679.

The year following his arrival in Massachusetts Bay Colony, he

was elected a member of the General Court, which brought him in

touch with Bellingham, who officiated there from the year of his

arrival in 1634 until the time of his death in 1672; both were mem-bers of the First Church of Boston for twenty-six years.

In 1665, the year the map of the Massachusetts Bay Colony was

drawn by William Read, there were two persons named William

Read, of Boston—William Read, of Batcombe, England, and Wil-

liam Read, a cloth merchant and sea captain. There is no record of

this sea captain being in Boston before 1661. He died at sea on a

return trip to this country from Ireland in 1667; he never held office

in the Colony.

William Read, of Batcombe, was well known through longer resi-

dence and association with Bellingham, both members of the General

Court, and as William Read is the only artist so far recorded with

the initials W. R., it would seem most reasonable that William Read

of Batcombe was the artist who painted the portrait of Bellingham,

and later, in 1665, was selected among the artists of Boston to draw

up a map of the Colony by order of the General Court, and was paid

for making it by the Treasurer of the same Court. A copy of this

map is believed to be in the British Museum.

[Banta], Epke Jacobs

Mr. Collins Baker thinks that this portrait (see page

219) was done by " 1630 at latest." If the date "1650"

on the picture is an error for "1630," Epke would then

have married rather late in life, having his first child

at the age of fifty-three.

In Granger's "Biographical History" there is an en-

graved portrait of Dr. John Richardson, Bishop of

Ardagh, dated 1653. He has a ruff and beard.

Martin Tromp (1 597-1 653) is a man of mature years

when he appears with a ruff. But it must be confessed

that portraits just like Epke's are common about 1620.

The portrait of Blair is described on pages 81 and

609 of this work. The photograph used here was

taken by the Frick Art Reference Library.

On page 610 there is a reference to a miniature of

Blair in the Virginia Historical Society's rooms. It is

reproduced in the Virginia Magazine of history and

biography, January, 1923, page 83. Of this picture

Mr. Lawrence Park writes: "It was probably painted

in England about 1725. Bust, J4 right, gray powdered

wig, falling on shoulders, slate gray coat, white neck-

cloth and ruffles, gray background, gray buttons on coat.

Bolling Portraits

The portraits of members of the Bolling family of

Virginia are in some respects as interesting and com-

plete as any in America. They are reproduced in "Me-

moirs of the Bolling Family" (1868). 1 The costume

of Robert, the immigrant (1646-1709), seems correct.

That of his son, John (1 676-1 729), appears to be of

the period of 17 10 (simple, flat cravat), and yet his

face looks rather youthful for a man of thirty-four.

His so-called wife, a lady with a veil or shawl over her

head, and three bows in place of clasps on her bodice,

might very well be his stepmother, Anne, daughter of

Drury Stith, Robert Boiling's second wife. Robert mar-

ried her in 1681, and she was living in 1700. Her

costume is not unlike that of Mrs. Thomas Edgar, of

Downham Hall, Suffolk, done in 1694,2 when she was

advanced in age,

Boucher, Pierre, 1622-17 17. Historian.

This portrait, heretofore known as "the New Eng-

tume of 1680, the cravat not uncommon in portraits, both

English and French, of the period. It was owned for

at least twenty years by Mr. Thomas O'Leary, assistant

curator of the Chateau de Ramezay Museum in Mont-

real. In January, 1921, it was purchased by Charles

K. Bolton, of Shirley, Massachusetts, restretched, and

reframed.

ANNO 1680:

The picture was picked up by an aged man at an

auction many years ago at Montreal. Seven miles away

is the seigniory of Boucherville, an estate Owned by

Pierre Boucher, Governor of Three Rivers, and the first

historian of New France, who was aged fifty-eight in

1680. His face is not very unlike the accepted family

portrait of Pierre, but the accepted portrait shows a

coat with lapels of the period of 1830. Something,

therefore, must be wrong with the accepted family por-

trait of Pierre. Is this one the original?

Extracts from letters relating to the picture follow.

Francis J. Audet, Chief of the Index and Informa-

tion, Public Archives of Canada, Ottawa, wrote 7 March,

1921

:

"In reply to your communication of the 3d instant respecting

a portrait supposed to be of Pierre Boucher, I may say that the

918

photograph you sent me looks quite like portraits of Pierre Boucher

published in Suite's 'Histoire des Canadiens-francais,' I, 104; in

Abbe Daniel's 'Nos gloires nationales,' Montreal, E. Senecal,

1867 ; and Rev. Father Lalande's 'Une vieille seigneurie: Boucher-

ville,' published in Montreal by Cadieux et Derome, 1890."

iEgidius Fauteux, Librarian, Library of St. Sulpice,

Montreal, wrote, February 2, 1921

:

" I have at hand your letter of yesterday's date. I am sorry to

say that I don't know of any authentic portrait of Pierre Boucher.

The Abbe Daniel, author of 'Les grandes Families Canadiennes-

frangaises,' appears to be responsible for the portrait which is gen-

erally used. The portrait given in his book, in 1867, is the same

given by Montizambert in his 'Canada in the 17th Century,' and

by Benjamin Suite in his 'Histoire des Canadiens-francais.' The

one given by Dom Benoit in his 'Vie de Mgr. Tache' is slightly

different, and I have no idea of its origin. I think both are fancy

portraits made at the request of the family a long time after the

death of the subject. As to Abbe Daniel, I have reasons to believe

that he was not particular as to the authenticity of the portraits

he published. However, the most competent person to give infor-

mation on the matter is Mr. Montarville Boucher de la Bruere,

Dominion Archivist in Montreal, whose office is at No. 1 Com-

mon Street. Mr. de la Bruere is a direct descendant of Pierre

Boucher and has made a thorough study of the history of his

family."

Montarville Boucher de la Bruere, Director of the

Bureau of Public Archives at Montreal, wrote 9 Feb-

ruary, 1 92 1

:

"En reponse a votre lettre demandant s'il existe au Canada un

portrait authentique de Pierre Boucher, mon ancetre, je dois vous

dire que le premier portrait de l'ancien gouverneur des Trois-

Rivieres, qui ait ete publie, l'a ete dans Les Soirees Canadiennes,

919

annee 1865, page 339, d'apres un tableau a l'huile qui etait en

la possession de feu l'honorable Charles Boucher de Boucherville.

"Ce tableau a l'huile est aujourd'hui la propriete de son fils

Joseph Boucher de Boucherville, avocat, demeurant au numero

1042 Dorchester Ouest pendant les mois de l'hiver, et durant l'ete

au village de Boucherville, dans la residence de feu son pere.

"C'est a ce dernier endroit que se trouve le tableau a l'huile

de Pierre Boucher, transmis de generation en generation, et con-

sidere par la famille comme authentique."

iEgidius Fauteux, Librarian, Library of St. Sulpice,

Montreal, wrote March 8, 1921:

"I can indicate another Frenchman of Canadian interest to

whom the portrait might be ascribed as well as to Pierre Boucher.

I mean Antoine Lefebvre de la Barre, who was governor general

of New France from 1682 to 1685. Tanguay does not mention

him, but I have found elsewhere that he was born in 1622. It

is true that some authors give him 70 years of age at the time

of his nomination as governor in 1682, but they must be mistaken,

as his father was only married in 1620. Lefebvre de la Barre

might easily have had his portrait painted in France in 1680, two

years before his arrival in Canada. This could be ascertained if

we could find an authentic portrait of M. de la Barre. There is

one which has been published lately in a kind of gallery of our

governors and it does not look at all like the portrait you have,

but I hasten to say that the portrait published in the aforesaid

gallery has no guarantee of authenticity and cannot be relied upon.

The best thing to do would be to ask information from the Biblio-

theque Nationale in Paris, which possesses a large collectron of

portraits and may have one of M. de la Barre.

"Of course, I mention M. de la Barre only as a possible sub-

ject. Personally, but for no other reasons than those I have given

you, I remain under the impression that the person whose portrait

you have is not related to Canada."

Bowdoin Family Portraits

James Bowdoin, diplomat, son of the Governor of

Massachusetts of the same name, left at his death in

1811 his paintings and drawings to Bowdoin College.

They were received from his widow in 18 13, and the

college gave as part of a receipt a "true and correct"

manuscript catalogue of the paintings. The Historical

Introduction to the printed catalogue of the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Fine Arts (in the Walker Art Building) states

that "the widow of the benefactor of the college, her-

self a Bowdoin by birth, added in 1826 a series of

family portraits to this collection, which then numbered

eighty-four oil paintings." 1 The will reads: "My family

pictures I give to the College named Bowdoin in

Brunswick."

Of the family portraits, authentic and assumed, the

oldest apparently in date (No. 177) represents a man

with a flowing moustache, a long, narrow, brown beard,

an open white ruff, dark coat or gown with buttons, and

black gloves held in his left hand. It is dated 1647,

when the sitter was aged sixty-two. On a shield there

is a monogram, which appears to read M. H. B. The

crest is a demi-man (Neptune?), holding in his hand a

trident. This would appear to be the earliest Bowdoin

portrayed, although the features do not strongly resemble

those in authentic Bowdoin portraits.

The next portrait chronologically (No. 198) has a

smooth, round face, short wig, a close, curly ruff, a black

coat with tucks in the sleeves, and a book in the sitter's

1 Numbers 177 and 192 here mentioned were not a part of the 1826 gift.

923

right hand. The features are not very suggestive of

the later Bowdoins.

The next in point of time seems to be the portrait

numbered 192; this has strongly marked Bowdoin fea-

tures, was painted, judging from the costume, about

1 692-1 705, and may well represent Pierre Baudouin,

who was born in 1650, came to Casco Bay from

La Rochelle, France, in 1686, and moved to Boston in

1690, where he died in September, 1706. He faces

toward the right, has a gray wig, high, parted and

forked, a twisted cravat, slit sleeves, and a tight-fitting,

brown coat covered by a brownish-red robe. This is

listed in the Catalogue as: "Unknown school—Portrait

of an ancestor of the Bowdoin family, it is supposed."

Mr. D. Berkeley Updike, a descendant of the Bow-

doins and a student of Colonial portraiture, believes

that this canvas represents Pierre. Pierre's son, James

( 1 676-1 747), is represented on page 353 of Volume 2

of this work.

I am indebted to Miss Anna E. Smith, the curator, for

many helpful suggestions in connection with my study

of the Bowdoin portraits.

Boxford Portrait

The Essex Antiquarian, Volume 9 (1905), page 23,

has an account of the Rev. Oliver Peabody, of Natick,

Massachusetts, born in Boxford in 1698 and dead in

1752. The article is illustrated by a portrait of a manof perhaps thirty, with the dress of the period of 1670-

1680, embroidered shirt front or a jabot, spreading

wrist ruffles, puffed sleeves under a short-sleeved outer

coat, a brooch at the throat, long natural hair, a book

in his right hand, the left hand resting on a standing

book. The background appears to be a dark and a light

curtain, with sky to the right. The half-tone reproduc-

tion bears the title,uRev. Oliver Peabody." The can-

vas is about three feet square. Our reproduction is

from a photograph owned by Mr. Sidney Perley, of

Salem.

The so-called Peabody portrait had been in the old

Holyoke house 1in Boxford for many years before it

came into the possession of the last of the family, Miss

Hannah Holyoke, who died unmarried in 1865. About

191 2 the Holyoke house was occupied by Mrs. Elvin

French and her daughter, Miss Gertrude French, when

Mr. Dwight M. Prouty, of Boston, purchased the por-

trait from Mrs. French. Mr. Prouty is now (1925)

living in Paris, and the picture is there. In 1923/4 the

portrait was restored by Rouchy, of Paris. In the

restoration the subject, in a vivid green cloak or mantle,

1 Two small oil portraits in the Boxford house are mentioned in a poem:

"Two antique portraits older than we know,

—

Perchance were old a century ago,

—

Hang in the upper hall."

These represent King William III and Queen Anne.

927

stands before a large tree. At the right is the Charles

River (?), bluffs, and a sky with clouds. At the left

is a rich reddish curtain. The lace has been tricked

out very effectively.

Mr. Prouty has conjectured that the face represents

Miss Holyoke's grandfather, the Rev. Mr. Peabody,

eventual successor of the Apostle Eliot at Natick, al-

though the costume seems to be an obstacle to such an

ascription. Apparently the costume throws the sitter

back to a birth date of 1640 or 1650, a generation

earlier than Mr. Peabody. Portraiture was, as far as

we know, not indulged in by the Peabodys at this

period. But the Holyoke family, his connections by

marriage, did have portraits painted. Elizur Holyoke,

a Boston goldsmith (1 65 1-1711), great-grandfather of

Miss Hannah, was in a position to have a portrait

painted in 1680 and was of proper age for this picture.

His wife's portrait is reproduced in the "Holyoke

Diaries," page xiii.

If we assume that the canvas is an ancestral portrait,

this being the only assumption that one can work on,

then it represents a kinsman of Hannah Holyoke's who

was from twenty-five to thirty years of age in 1670-

1680, either Elizur Holyoke or one of his period.

Mr. Prouty feels strongly that the sitter was a clergy-

man. The only available kinsman of that profession is

the Rev. Benjamin Eliot, of Roxbury, born 29 January,

1646/7, the sixth son of the "Apostle" Eliot. Hegraduated at Harvard in 1665, and although never

ordained, he assisted his father for many years, dying

unmarried 15 October, 1687, when he was "much touch'd

as to his Understanding." His mother died in March,

1687, leaving her husband feeble and aged. It would

not be unreasonable to assume that in this state of the

family affairs a large portrait of an unmarried son, nowdead, would be ready for disposition elsewhere. Theolder sons were all dead or living in Connecticut—

a

long journey for the portrait, although a daughter,

Mrs. Habakkuk Glover, was living in Boston at the time.

Possibly in this emergency the Apostle's niece, MaryEliot, daughter of Jacob, may have asked for the pic-

ture for her house in Boston. Her husband was Elizur

Holyoke mentioned above. A nephew of Benjamin, the

Rev. Jared Eliot (son of Rev. Joseph, of Guilford),

may be seen portrayed in the Century Magazine, Jan-

uary, 1884, Volume 27, page 437. To some there will

seem to be a family likeness common to both portraits.

Bradstreet, Simon, i 603-1 697. Governor.

This portrait of Governor Bradstreet was purchased

from Mr. Frank W. Bayley in May, 1920.

It may have been painted about 1685, and has a thin-

ner, more thoughtful face than that at the State House

in Boston. This portrait, owned by Richard Brooks

Carter (born in 1822), came from his father, Richard

Carter (1 769-1 845), who bought it April 26, 18 17,

from Isaac Cazeneau as "Simon Bradstreet Governor

Symmes, deceased [1807] and found by him in Brad-

in the Bradstreet house, succeeding Rev. Thomas Bar-

father, Rev. John Barnard, in 17 18. The town made

a grant to aid Mr. Barnard's purchase of the house

Broughton, Thomas, died 1737. Governor.

In the Ravenel Records, 1898, page 75, Henry Barker

says that Governor Broughton's portrait bears the in-

scription: Henrietta Johnson Fecit South Carolina ano

1720.

Brown, Jane Lucas, 1 697-1 775. Wife of John Brown.

Oil portraits of Mr. and Mrs. John Brown, of New-

port, Rhode Island, are owned by Henry P. Russell, Esq.,

45 East 63d Street, New York (1922). On the author-

ity of Lawrence Park, Esq., they were done by Joseph

Blackburn about 1755. Mr. Brown is represented as

seated at a table, holding in his right hand a quill. Near

his hand an inkwell holds down an unsealed letter ad-

dressed "To M rJn° Brown, Merch't In Newport, Rhode

Island." The portrait of Mrs. Brown shows her with

lace cap, bodice held together by two bows of ribbon,

and with large lace sleeves. She holds in her right hand

a rose. The photographs were taken by Stephen G.

Cleveland, of New York, in 1922.

The "Genealogy of that branch of the Russell Family

which comprises the descendants of John Russell," Provi-

dence, 1879, has opposite page 56 a portrait of "Jane

Brown (nee Lucas). From a Painting of 1735, Arto-

type. Harroun & Bierstadt, N. Y." She is repre-

sented as a young woman with modern expression and

hair dressing, and a laced bodice. The text says that

"a miniature portrait of this lady [Jane Lucas], painted

about the year 1730 in the costume of the period, is

933

in the possession of Charles H[andy] Russell/' born

in 1796 at Newport. I have not as yet found the name

of the present owner of this miniature.

Byfield, Nathaniel, 1653-1733. Judge.

This portrait was purchased by Mr. Charles A. Munn,

of New York, as a representation of Jonathan Belcher.

Mr. Munn wrote, December 11, 1919: "The picture has

been cleaned by Hammond Smith and the injured part

repaired. The very imperfect restoration work, which

was done evidently some years ago, was taken out and

the curious shape of the nose in the Byfield portrait

was revealed. Apparently the nose was broken, and this

peculiarity appears quite distinctly in my portrait. The

wig extends quite far over the right shoulder. This

almost disappears in the reproduction. The curls of the

wig quite correspond, so that your reproduction might

easily have been a photograph of my portrait. A most

interesting feature has been revealed, however, by the

cleaning of the portrait. In the lower left-hand corner

we found the following: 'iEtat 78, 1730.' Of course,

this goes to substantiate your theory that the portrait

is one of Nathaniel Byfield. . . . Both Macbeth and

I believe the portrait to be by Smibert. Now, if this

is so, and I have no doubt about it, who painted the

other original portrait of Byfield which you mention in

your 'Founders'?"

934

Calvert Portraits

These are discussed in the Maryland Historical Maga-

zine for December, 1906. It is there stated that in

1883 the portrait of Charles, 3d Lord Baltimore, was

at Mt. Airy, then a seat of a branch of the Calvert

family.

Calvert, Charles, third Baron Baltimore, 1637-

17 14/5. Governor.

James P. Labey, Esq., of New York, owns the por-

trait by Lely, and has allowed us to have it photographed.

The inscription on the portrait reads, " after portrait

by Sir Godfrey Kneller." Mr. Labey believes this to

be by Lely.

Vertue says that he saw or heard of a full-length por-

trait of Lord Baltimore by Gerard Soest. (Collins

Baker, Volume 1, page 207.)

Calvert, Leonard, i 606-1 647. Governor.

The original is here reproduced from a photograph

presented by Messrs. R. C. and N. M. Vose, of Boston,

who own the picture (1922). The wig is brown, eyes

gray, collar white, coat black, background very dark.

The canvas measures 17^ X 23^ right.

(In 1923 the portrait was owned by Mrs. Louis

Chauvenet, of Boston.)

Carter, Elizabeth Landon. Wife of Robert Carter.

This portrait, which is reproduced in Volume one of

"The Founders," page 113, is so called by Mrs. Stanard

935

in her "Colonial Virginia," 191 7, page 196. Glenn,

however, in his "Some Colonial Mansions," 1898,

Volume 1, page 259, calls her Mrs. Landon Carter.

The pedigree follows:

Elizabeth Hill Carter = Col. Wm. Byrd III.

Portrait in 1728-1777.Glenn, I, p. 45.Portrait of

" Betty," c. 1752.

In Glenn's book, page 245, there is a portrait of a

girl of perhaps twelve, with the title, "Miss Elizabeth

Hill, daughter of Edward Hill of Shirley, and wife of

John Carter of Corotoman." The dress, in all its es-

sential details of design, folds, shadows, flowers, and arm,

is exactly like the Elizabeth Carter. This leads to the

conclusion that they were both done by a "face-painter"

who did the pictures at his leisure and filled in the faces

to order. They were probably made at about the same

time. Judging from the face, Elizabeth Hill was done

about 171 2, at which date Mrs. Robert Carter of our

936

picture was about thirty years of age, a reasonable as-

sumption, which tends to confirm the attribution. Noone of the three Mrs. Landon Carters was born as early

as 17 1 2, and certainly no Mrs. Landon Carter could

be as old as the lady in the picture in 171 2. See Swift's

"Stella" (1681-1727) in the National Portrait Gallery

for an example of the form of sleeve here seen. She

appears to be about twenty-five.

The alternative is that the portrait of the young lady

does not represent Elizabeth Hill. If not, we stand

where we did before.

Chapin, Deacon Samuel, i 595-1 675. Colonizer.

Augustus Saint-Gaudens made a bronze statue for

Springfield, Massachusetts, signed and dated 1887.

Chapin is represented in Puritan costume, with a peak-

crowned hat, long, flowing cloak, and carrying a staff.

Inscription: "1595 Anno Domino 1675. Deacon Samuel

Chapin. One of the founders of Springfield." A bust

which Saint-Gaudens made of Chester W. Chapin, a

descendant of the deacon, served as a model for the

face. A similar statue (not a replica) called "The

Pilgrim" was made for the New England Society of

Pennsylvania in 1905 and stands in City Hall Square,

Philadelphia. The head was remodelled and changed;

changes were also made in the cloak, and the book was

reversed, so that the lettering, "Holy Bible," on the

back is seen.

See "Augustus Saint-Gaudens," by C. Lewis Hind, New York, 1908.

937

Clark, John, 1598 ( ?)-i664.

Too close trimming on the right side of the photo-

gravure on page 365 of Volume 2 has removed the

fingers of Clark's left hand, which grasps the skull.

Claypoole, James.

In Faris's "Romance of Old Philadelphia" there is

a portrait said to represent a person of the above name

born in 1683. It appears to be James, born in 1720.

Conant, Roger, i 593-1 679. Pioneer.

A statue by Mr. Henry H. Kitson was dedicated in

Salem 17 June, 19 13. Of this statue Mr. Kitson writes

to me April 9, 1923: "Before making the final model

I studied a number of photographs of members of the

Conant family, 1 but had no composite photograph as

has been suggested. What I tried to express in the

statue was Conant, the founder of Salem, and studied

his petition to the General Court, in which he said re-

garding Salem: 'And when in the infancy thereof, it

was in great hazard of being deserted, I was a means,

through Grace assisting me, to stop the flight of those

few that then were here with me, that by my utter denial

to go away with them, who would have gone either for

England, or mostly for Virginia, but thereupon stayed

to the hazard of our lives.' I represent Conant grasping

a stunted oak tree which had been battered by the ele-

ments, his big cloak being caught by the wind, holding

on regardless of the elements and the privations of a

new settlement."1 Photographs included those of Dr. Levi Leonard Conant, of the Worcester

Polytechnic Institute; Samuel Morris Conant, of Pawtucket ; Albert F. Conant, of

Littleton; and Frederick Odell Conant.

(939)

Coram, Thomas, c.i 667-1 751. Philanthropist.

Hogarth considered the picture of Coram done in

1739, and now in the Foundling Hospital, as the best

of his single portraits (Dobson, 1902, page 64), and

it was one of the first he painted the size of life. Dobson

says: "Excellent as is Nutter's copy, it gives no idea

of the superb coloring and masterly qualities of the

original painting.'' Hogarth was "a Governor and

Guardian" of the Foundling Hospital, and very active.

Mr. Worthington C. Ford enlisted the interest of

Mr. Henry J. Brown of B. F. Stevens & Brown, of

London, in the summer of 1922, and obtained permis-

sion to take the portrait from the wall, remove the

glass, and photograph it. This is perhaps the first

photograph of Hogarth's Coram ever made. It is re-

produced here by permission of the Governors of the

Foundling Hospital, and was taken by Mr. A. C. Cooper.

On the canvas itself are the words: "Painted and given

by Wm Hogarth, 1740." The autograph has been

supplied by Mr. Julius H. Tuttle from a letter in the

Massachusetts Historical Society.

Another portrait, 27 T/2 X 35 inches, was exhibited in

1 89 1 by the Duke of Sutherland (Dobson, page 177).

A list of engraved portraits of Coram will be found

in the more recent lives of Hogarth.

941

Curwin, George, 1610-1684/5. Merchant.

In the reproduction on page 373 of Volume 2 the

hand which holds the cane was not shown as it should

have been.

Mr. Albert Matthews, in a note of June 15, 1924,

suggests that on page 3 there would be an advantage

in clearness if a sentence there had read:UA less effec-

tive portrait . . . was done . . . more in the manner

of Huysmans' Catherine of Braganza, than of the

artists who painted the portraits of Curwin, Savage,

or Freke."

Cushing Family of Massachusetts

The late H. G. Somerby, a genealogist, wrote in 1853

to the Hon. Caleb Cushing that he was sending from

England "an ancient portrait of one of the Cushing

family . . . which I found in possession of the lady

who was the principal legatee of the last Hardingham

Cushings."

I saw this portrait November 16, 1922, at the home

of Mr. Lawrence Cushing, Newburyport, Massachusetts.

It represents a man of perhaps forty years of age, in

armor and short cravat, with brown wig and strong

Cromwellian face. In every respect except the features

the William Penn picture dated 1666 and reproduced

on page 291 may be compared with it.

942

(943)

De Lancey, Stephen, i 663-1 741. Merchant.

The portrait of Stephen De Lancey, reproduced in

Art in America for December, 1922, opposite page 54,

is a half-length to left, lace cravat, close-fitting coat, and

his right hand supporting a robe over his chest. His

hair is natural, reaching to the shoulder, or it may be

even longer. In the magazine it is said to be by John

Smibert, and painted in 1734. 30 X 25 inches.

It is probably not by Smibert. De Lancey was born

in 1663 and came to New York City in 1686. The

picture was done probably about 17 15 (see Isaac Norris),

when he was about fifty-two ( ?). If so, it was not

done by Smibert, who worked in America between 1728

and 1751.

De Peyster Portraits

In the American wing of the Metropolitan Museum,

New York, are two charming portraits of De Peyster

children, Jacques, aged 17 months, 21 May, 1631, and

Sarra, aged 30 months, 23 May, 1631, owned by Mrs.

Charles H. Jones of New York and her brother,

Mr. Livingston L. Short. They stand full length on a

tessellated floor and are dressed in white. Their father

was Jacques de Peyster of Rouen. They did not come

over.

Three De Peyster children are shown in portraits at

the New York Historical Society rooms. Mr. Wehle

writes that "the style of them is Kneller-like"—about

1675-1723—and therefore these portraits of children

were not brought over by Johannes de Peyster in 1647,

as stated in the Society's Catalogue, 19 15, page 45.

945

De Peyster, Margareta Katrijn, 1655-C.1728.

Wife of Abraham de Peyster.

Portraits said to represent Abraham and Catharine de

Peyster were reproduced in Valentine's "Manual of New-

York " for 1 861, page $56 (apparently lithographs by

Sarony, Major, and Knapp, New York), and in better

fashion in Frederic de Peyster's "Life and Administra-

tion of Bellomont," page 58 (Heliotype Printing Com-

pany, Boston). In the former work the inscriptions

under the pictures are curiously inaccurate and vague.

In the Bellomont pamphlet the pictures are labelled as

Col. and Mrs. Abraham de Peyster, and I cannot see

reason to question the ascriptions there given.

The original portrait is in the possession of the family

of the late Gen. J. Watts De Peyster, of New York,

cousins of the present Frederic A. de Peyster.

Desborough, Samuel, 161 9-1 690. Statesman.

Miss Disbrowe, of Walton Hall, near Burton-upon-

Trent, owned portraits of Maj. Gen. John Desborough

and Samuel, his brother, which were lent for an exhibi-

tion of national portraits held at the South Kensington

Museum in April, 1866. The official catalogue refers

to John, under No. 813, as "Bust, young; open doublet

and white sleeves; inscribed, 'Lord John Disbrowe,

Major-Gen. of the West.' Canvas, 28 X 23 in." . The

face is long and narrow, with highly arched eyebrows,

and with hair well back from the forehead. The

nose is long, thin, and concaved, rather than Roman.

The creases on either side of the nose are well marked.

The canvas has the family heraldic shield. The por-

946

trait was reproduced in S. R. Gardiner's "Oliver Crom-

well," 1899, Goupil, opposite page 172.

A portrait of General John, in middle age, is given

in Butler's "Hudibras," edited by Bohn, London, 1859,

Volume 2, page 338. He is seated in a chair. This

is an engraving by R. Cooper from the picture by Dobson.

The face is reasonably like the foregoing, with the same

highly arched eyebrows, and with two distinct tassels

under his broad collar.

Among the portraits mentioned in Granger's "Bio-

graphical History of England," fifth edition, Volume 3,

London, 1824, there appears opposite page 366 the

engraving of him on horseback and in armor, published,

1808, by William Richardson. The features are crudely

done.

So much for John, who did not come to America, but

whose portraits are sometimes confused with those of

his brother, Samuel.

Miss Disbrowe owned also and exhibited a portrait

of John's younger brother, Samuel, described in the

catalogue as "Bust; black doublet and cloak, square-cut

collar. Canvas, 28 X 23 in." This portrait was re-

produced in John Morley's "Oliver Cromwell," 1900,

The Century Company, opposite page 420. The ex-

pression is gentle and calm, the hair touches the fore-

head, the nose is Roman, and there are no face creases,

as in the portrait of John. On the canvas are the words

:

"Samuel Disbrowe, chancellor of Scotland," and per-

haps more that cannot be read. Also the shield: argent

a fess between three bears' heads and necks couped

sable, muzzled or. Mr. Richard Holworthy, writing

947

June 4, 1923, says: "I am not too happy about Miss

Disbrowe's portrait; I feel sure the arms were added

at a later date." Mark Noble speaks of two portraits,

one "certainly the Lord Keeper of Scotland, as it agrees

in the likeness to an invaluable miniature of that person

by Cooper. By both, the portrait and the miniature,

he appears to have been, when in the middle age in life,

of an oval face, with small whiskers, and a lock of hair

beneath the lower lip."

The real difficulties for our purpose begin when

we consider other portraits of Samuel Desborough.

Mr. Richard Holworthy, of London, has placed in myhands photographs of three Desborough miniatures.

Two (here called A and B) are owned by him and

were reproduced in color in The Connoisseur, Volume 32

(191 2), page 235. These may be described as follows:

A. (Not reproduced in this book.) On the left of

the above page 235 is a man of perhaps thirty-five or

forty, with hair parted away from the forehead, the

frayed ends resting on his broad, square collar, thin

face, slight moustache and goatee, two tassels visible

beneath the collar. The miniature belongs to Mr. Richard

Holworthy, of London (1923). The Connoisseur calls

this a portrait of Samuel, but the inscriptions under

the pictures should be reversed. Whether this is really

John is not certain.

B. The miniature on the right-hand side of page 235,

with blue background and "set in gold," represents, I

should say, a somewhat older man, with skull cap, long

hair over the shoulders, with short locks frayed over the

forehead, a square collar with the corners tucked under

948

a robe, and the tassels together as one. There is slight

evidence of moustache and goatee. The magazine calls

this a portrait of John, but Mr. Holworthy agrees that

it represents Samuel. It is reproduced in this book.

C. The third miniature, in an elaborate frame, which

is inscribed, "General Desborough," is similar to the

above (5), but with shorter hair, resting on the square

collar (corner visible), the cap larger than in B, and

one tassel visible. This is the Duke of Buccleuch copy.

Mr. Holworthy says the word "General" in the inscrip-

tion is an error, since Samuel is represented.

Rose Desborough, the widow, by her will, dated 1698,

left to her grandson, Samuel Mills, Esq., his grand-

father's ring with his coat of arms upon it, and to

Matthew Holworthy's wife, Elizabeth, her grandfather's

picture set in gold.1 This I suppose refers to Samuel

Desborough (B)}whose portrait is mentioned by Mark

Noble as an invaluable miniature by Samuel Cooper, who

did so many of the Cromwell family. I can find no

reference to this portrait in the life of Cooper.

Dolbeare, John, i 669-1 740. Merchant.

The portraits of Mr. and Mrs. John Dolbeare were

mentioned in the inventory of their son, George, of

Connecticut, in 1772, as "Pictures of Mr. John Dolbeare

and Sarah his wife with two large gilt frames." In 1893,

when his portrait was reproduced in the family history,

the portraits were owned by the Misses Adelaide R.

and Mary J. Lockwood, descendants of Hannah, daugh-

ter of George Dolbeare. They are now (1923) ownedby Thomas S. McLane, Esq., of New York, and were

photographed in June, 1923, for the Frick Art Refer-

ence Library in New York. Miss Helen C. Frick sent

prints to me.

Downing, Sir George, Baronet, 1 624-1 684. Statesman.

Mr. Frederic Winthrop has called my attention to a

statement made by Robert C. Winthrop in the preface

to his edition of the Winthrop papers published by the

Massachusetts Historical Society (Collections, Volume 1,

fifth series, 1871), where he says: "We cannot learn

that either at this college [Downing College] or any-

where else has a portrait of the First Baronet been

preserved. Residing so long as Ambassador in the land

of Rubens and Rembrandt one would have felt sure that

he would have gratified his own vanity by sitting for

a full-length, but if he did so, the result is among, the

thousand and one family portraits which have ceased to

be distinguishable for want of an original ear-mark."

The following letter was written by Mrs. Robert

Winthrop to her son, Mr. Frederic Winthrop, April

24, 1924:

950

"About the portrait of Sir George Downing. I saw

the portrait first in 1858 or 1859 in the Winthrop house

in 14th Street, New York City. I was told at that time

that it was a portrait of Downing, whose mother was

a sister of John Winthrop, first Governor of Massa-

chusetts, and that the portrait had been in the family

for generations. I have always believed this, and it has

always been the belief of the family that it is the por-

trait of Sir George Downing : I have no reason to doubt

it. It has always been kept with the family portraits."

This carries the identification of the portrait back for

a century. Another century would carry the portrait

easily back to a time when those who knew Downing

saw the picture. There is nothing in the costume in-

consistent with the period in which Downing lived, and

nothing in the features that we should not expect from

a study of his character. It seems probable that Mr.

Robert C. Winthrop, after writing the paragraph quoted

above, heard of the picture of Sir George, for a copy

by R. M. Pratt of New York was made in 1872, and

hung thereafter in Mr. Winthrop's Boston home.

A portrait of Downing's daughter, Mary, who married

Thomas Barnardiston, is opposite page 42 in Farrer's

"Portraits in Suffolk Houses, West," London, 1908.

Dummer, Jeremiah and William.

These portraits have long been in a state of confusion.

The Massachusetts Historical Society has recently pub-

lished the Journals of the House of Representatives of

Massachusetts. In Volume three appears the portrait

inscribed, "William Dummer," and in Volume four, the

951

portrait inscribed "Jeremiah Dummer." After a care-

ful comparison of all the reproductions of these two

portraits, and assuming that the portrait at DummerAcademy, which was founded by William Dummerreally represents William, we have come to the conclu-

sion that the portraits, as they appear in the Journals,

are probably there correctly labelled.

Endecott, John, i 589-1665. Governor.

On page 640, the statement that F. P. Vinton made

a copy of the Governor's portrait for William Endi-

cott, Jr., of Beverly, is an error. It was made in 1886

by Horace Robbins Burdick.

For a detailed account of Governor Endecott's por-

trait and the copies see "Memoir of Samuel Endicott"

by William Crowninshield Endicott, Boston, 1924, pages

191-202.

Eskridge, Col. George. Died, 1735.

His portrait, and that of his second (?) wife, done

about 1720, are in the rooms of the Virginia Histori-

cal Society at Richmond, bequeathed to the Society by

Gen. Peter C. Rust, of New York, in 19 13. They are

in poor condition. General Rust owned also Colonel

George's family silver. The reproduction is from a

photograph taken by Mr. H. P. Cook, of Richmond,

in 1923.

Of this portrait Mr. Lawrence Park writes : "Guardian

of Washington's mother. Canvas, bust J4 right, dark

blue eyes to spectator, brown, curly wig falling on shoul-

ders, white lace neckcloth tied under chin and falling on

952

breast with fringed and decorated end, black coat, with

brown cloak over shoulders. Plain dark brown back-

ground. Picture has been much and poorly restored

and repainted, but upper part of face, and the neck-

cloth original."

Fauconnier, Pierre, 165 8-1749. Merchant.

The frontispiece to A. F. Perrin's "Allied Families

of Purdy, Fauconnier, etc." (1911), represents Pierre

Fauconnier, a French merchant who was frequently in

New York during the reign of William and Mary, but

did not bring his family over to settle in America until

1702. He is not, for this reason, included in our list

of Founders. The portrait mentioned above is said to

be from a miniature painted in London.

Ambrose Fielding Portraits

Dr. Joseph L. Miller, of Thomas, West Virginia,

wrote 20 September, 1920, in regard to these pictures:

"So far as I know the Fielding portraits are not now

in existence, as I was unable to get any trace of them

among the known descendants, except of a miniature

of Sarah Fielding painted about 1 695-1 700, which is

in my possession. The only knowledge I have of the

portraits is the mention of them in the old Inventory

of Ambrose Fielding, and of his son, Edward, both be-

fore 1700, and an old letter in my possession written

in 1789 by a great-granddaughter of Edward Fielding,

to her brother in Kentucky, telling of the destruction

by fire of the old family home in Spotsylvania County,

and the loss of the family portraits, in which she men-

953

tions specifically the Fielding portraits ; but whether they

were the ones named in the earlier inventories I do not

know."

Flynt Portraits.

Mr. Barrett Wendell told me that a MS. copy of

John Wendell's inventory, Boston, 1 762-1 765, mentions

"old portraits of the Flynt family." John Wendell's

wife, Elizabeth, was the daughter of Edmund Quincy,

who married Dorothy, daughter of Rev. Josiah Flynt,

son of the immigrant, Rev. Henry Flynt, of Braintree.

His brother, Thomas, sold the estates at Matlock, in

Derbyshire, and came over to Concord in 1636 with

some £2,000.

Freke, John, 1 635-1 675.

A copy in oils from the original was made in 1925

by Mr. Conrad Lincoln Newton for the Blaxton Restau-

rant on Charles Street, Boston. Freke is said to have

been "the first gentleman who in Boston entertained his

friends at a public house."

Hamilton, Andrew, i676?-i74i. Lawyer.

In the Union League Club catalogue of the art ex-

hibition of March, 1924, in the description of the

portrait of Anne Brown Hamilton, wife of Andrew

Hamilton, there is this paragraph:

"The miniature of Andrew Hamilton which Mrs. Hamilton

is holding in this portrait is perhaps the only true likeness in

existence, as the published engravings, etc., are all from a copy

of an original which was destroyed. This copy was made by

Wertmiiller about fifty years after the death of Hamilton."

Harvard, John, i 607-1 638. Philanthropist.

The statue known as John Harvard, unveiled at Har-

vard College in October, 1884, is discussed in the

Harvard Alumni Bulletin for June 14, 191 1. It is

there stated that the features are those of Sherman Hoarof the class of 1882. His features seemed to the sculp-

tor, Daniel Chester French, to suggest the ideal young

American.

In a letter from New York, dated 8 December, 1921,

Mr. French says: "You know that there is no portrait

of John Harvard, and I could only go to the Harvard

Library to read what few data there are recorded about

his personality. That he was 'reverend, godlike and a

lover of learning' (I quote from memory) was about

all that could help an artist, but it is recorded that he

died at the age of about thirty of consumption, and that

gave a clue to the sort of physique that he had. It was

fair to assume that his face would be delicate in model-

ing and sensitive in expression, and in looking about for

a type of the early comers to our shores', I chose a

lineal descendant of them for my model in the general

structure of the face, Sherman Hoar, of Concord. The

face of the statue is not a portrait of him, but is of his

type. He kindly gave me several sittings for it."

Haynes, John, 1 594-1 653. Governor.

"A portrait of Fitzjohn Winthrop [in armor, with a

long wig of the period of 1705 and] lettered 'Govr John

Haynes' was published in the first volume of Charles

W. Elliott's 'New England History,' New York, 1857.

The error was corrected in the later issue of the work."

1872, page 213.

There is a charming statue at the state capitol in

Hartford. Mr. George S. Godard, state librarian,

writes March 4, 1924:

"So far as I know, there is no authentic likeness of Governor

Haynes of Connecticut. The nearest authentic likeness, as I

understand it, is a shoe at one time worn by Governor Haynes

now in the possession of the Munsell family of New Haven. It

was from this shoe that the statue now on the north front of the

State Capitol at Hartford was fashioned. So far as I know,

nobody has objected to this statue as being not a faithful likeness.

I am enclosing herewith a cut of this statue which appeared at

one time in one of my reports."

Haynes, Mrs. Mabel (Harlakenden), 1614-1 655.

The Register of the Connecticut Society Colonial

Dames of America, 1907, has a reproduction of the

portrait of Mabel Harlakenden, reconstructed to show

details which but vaguely appeared in the original before

restoration.

Higginson, Lucy (Mrs. Ludwell), c. i 627-1 675".

There is a half-tone reproduction of a portrait said

to represent Mrs. Ludwell in "Ancestral Records and

Portraits" (1910), issued by the Colonial Dames of

America.

Dr. William G. Stanard says of her

:

"I once had her skull in my hands. It was a remarkable one,

quite long like a small melon, with much worn teeth. This is

when I had charge of removing the remains to tombs."

956

This description certainly is in accord with the

portrait.

Hinman, Edward. Sergeant.

In 1856, R. R. Hinman published a family record

of the descendants of Sergeant Edward Hinman. Onpage 884 are the words, "No portrait is found of Ser-

geant Edward Hinman." A portrait of "E. Hinman"

lithographed by E. C. Kellogg may represent Capt.

Elisha Hinman (173 2-1 805), of New London, who

married the daughter of George Dolbeare. When, in

1907, A. V. Hinman issued a history of the Hinmans,

this picture is used as a frontispiece, and is called

"Sergeant Edward Hinman." The Sergeant was in

Stratford, Connecticut, about 1650, but this is a por-

trait of a man who lived at the time of the American

Revolution.

Jay, Augustus, 1 665-1 751. Merchant.

A photograph from the portrait owned by Mrs. Arthur

Iselin, of Katonah, New York, taken in 1923.

Mrs. Iselin writes, 17 February, 1923: "The colour-

ing is very distinct and quite vivid. The eyes are brown,

the coat of a rich, dark crimson, the background is

brown."

A portrait of Augustus Jay was owned in 1880 by

Miss Eliza Clarkson Jay. The same or another is now

(1922) owned by Banyer Clarkson, Esq., of New York.

Mr. Pierre Jay, in a letter dated 22 November, 1921,

says: "So far as I know, the original of the portrait of

Mr. Augustus Jay is not in existence."

957

"Lady Arbella Johnson"

The Religious Souvenir for MDCCCXXXIX, pub-

lished in New York, has a story bearing the above title,

and illustrated by an engraved portrait bearing the same

name. It was painted by C. R. Leslie (1794-18 59),engraved by M. I. Danforth, and published by Scofield

and Voorhies. The picture represents a charming young

woman of perhaps twenty-five, with dress of the period

of 1600, a stiff, "rising," square lace collar, between

which and the throat lies a curl, knots over the shoul-

ders, a close-fitting bodice cut straight across the bosom

with a jewel midway, slashed sleeves, and a skirt gath-

ered or puffed about the hips by a farthingale. On her

right hand rests a bird.

Leslie painted a few portraits, but he was fond of

doing historic scenes. This might conceivably be a copy

of an old portrait, but it is more easily considered to

be a figure out of an imaginary group, for he frequently

used a figure closely resembling this in his scenes from

Shakespeare. One of Ann Page and Slender is espe-

cially suggestive.

Savage, in his "Genealogical Dictionary," says that

Drake believed in the authenticity of this engraving, and

adds: "I fear it must not be thot. origin, or certain, his

possession would be much envied. Without seeing the

picture, I venture to suggest, that it refers to some other

person, and that the possessor imposed on hims. a fond

imagina. for reality."

Lady Arbella Fiennes, daughter of Thomas, third Earl

of Lincoln, married Isaac, son of Abraham Johnson, of

Clipsham and South Luffenham, County Rutland, came

958*

to Salem, New England, in the summer of 1630, anddied without issue in a few weeks. Mr. Johnson died

a month later, on 30 September, 1630. Abraham John-

son stated, in 1638, that a portrait of his father, Arch-

deacon Robert Johnson, who died in 1625, was at the

house of a stranger in Boston. 1If the engraving of

the Lady Arbella did not bear the name of a modernpainter like Leslie, the fact that Isaac Johnson had his

grandfather's portrait with him would ordinarily give

color to any claim that he had a portrait of his wife

also. But the name and work of Leslie seem to destroy

any chance that the engraving is of an authentic portrait.

Capt. William Dalrymple Johnson, of Ketton, near

Stamford, in England, has two portraits, one labelled

Isaac Johnson, the other Lady "Arabella" Johnson. TheRev. E. A. Irons, rector of North Luffenham, writes,

3 December, 1920: "I went over to Ketton to see

Mr. Johnson on Saturday last, & he showed me the

family portraits: the oldest is one dated 1600 & labelled

Isaac Johnson. The person depicted seemed to me to

be about 45 years of age, judging from the features,

which were handsome & strong in character: the dress

was that of a gentleman towards the end of century xvii

—so I have come to the conclusion that the portrait has

been wrongly labelled, for Isaac Johnson was born in

1600 & died before he was 30 yrs old. I am very doubt-

ful too about the authenticity of the portrait of the lady

Arbella, which seems to me to belong to century xviii,

& is labelled 'Arabella' which was not her name."

1 New England Historical and Genealogical Register, October, 1854, page 361.

959

Abraham Johnson, Isaac's father, stated in 1638 that

Isaac's "grandfather, Robert's, picture was, and he really

thinks is still, left at Boston, in a strange Gentleman's

house, that never knew Robert Johnson, nor had any

cause to care for him." 1 The chief objection that can

be raised to the suggestion that a Lynn portrait owned

in 1920 by Mr. H. F. Otis shows the face of the arch-

deacon is one of costume. He died in 1625, and few,

if any, portraits with just these details of costume can

be fixed at a period earlier than 1635 or 1640.

If it does not represent the archdeacon, it must, one

would think, represent a man of high standing in NewEngland about 1640.

Johnson, Sir Nathaniel, 1644-17 12.

The reproduction in the book is from a photograph

of the original painting, but after Mr. Frank Bulkeley

Smith, the owner, had had it slightly touched up where

the canvas was bare. The Boston Athenaeum has a

photograph of the unretouched painting, but Mr. Smith

preferred not to have it used.

The painting is now (1922) owned by Mr. Herbert

L. Pratt, of New York.

Larkham, Rev. Thomas, 1 602-1 669.

The portrait, engraved by Thomas Cross, well known

in his time, is from the Bodleian copy of his Tavistock

sermons, published under the title of "The Wedding

Supper" (1652), said by Dr. Madan not to be in very

good condition. A copy of this pamphlet was ownedlater by Deliverance Larkham, a child of Rev. George

Larkham. The original was probably in oil, for he

wrote in 1654 that he bought a curtain rod for his pic-

ture. He had also "a Tall Picture" of his eldest son,

Thomas, if John died early. "The Attributes of God"(1656) is said also to have a portrait, but it is lacking

in copies known to me. It was inscribed "aet 54," which

indicates a later one than that of 1652, when he was

fifty. In the Diary he writes: "For new fitting mysecond Picture 10s."

Ludlow, Gabriel, 1663-1736.

The silhouette given with the above name and dates

in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,

January, 19 19, Volume 56, page 34, cannot be of that

Gabriel Ludlow, as silhouettes were not made until after

the date of his death.

The Lynn Gentleman, 1640

This portrait, owned in 1920 by Mr. Herbert Foster

Otis, of Brookline, Massachusetts, and bequeathed to

Robert Hallowell Gardiner, Esq., of Gardiner, Maine,

was purchased about 1900 from Mr. Charles E. Good-

speed, the Park Street bookseller. It came from the

estate of Dr. Charles E. Clark, a collector, of Lynn,

whose name was written on the frame.

Mr. Goodspeed writes November 20, 1924:

"Dear Mr. Bolton:

"The old portrait to which you have just called my attention,

of which you have a note as being bought by me from Dr. Charles

961

E. Clark and sold to Mr. Herbert Foster Otis, was, without

doubt, one of the many things which I bought from Dr. Clark

from time to time— I might almost say from day to day—dur-

ing the period of his actual collecting. Dr. Clark lived at 89 Broad

Street, Lynn, Mass. Although a physician he did not practice,

and had no occupation other than frequenting bookshops, second-

hand furniture shops, and even junk shops, in the pursuit of many

lines of antiquarian research; more particularly in books, engrav-

ings, and autographs. His collection of engravings and some draw-

ings was sold by auction at Libbie's in 1901. There is not the

slightest question in my mind but that this canvas was something

he picked up in some furniture shop or in some other out-of-the-

way place, and that he had no history with it. I feel sure this

was the case, because if he had any evidence which would connect

any name with the portrait he would have put it in his sale, and

would not have sold it for some small amount, as was undoubtedly

the case. Dr. Clark was a man of keen appreciation of the anti-

quarian values of things and would not let a thing slip through

his hands without full exploitation if he had information regard-

ing it.

Yours sincerely,

C. E. Goodspeed."

Dr. Clark married late in life and died at Passaic, NewJersey, in 191 1, leaving no children.

In my study of the man in this picture I have adopted

certain suppositions, without which little progress can

be made toward a tentative attribution.

1. He was born between 1565 and 1585.

These dates assume that the sitter was between the

ages of fifty and sixty-five when the picture was made,

that he was not a clergyman, and that the picture was

made between 1630 and 1635. Conditions of costume

962

THE LYNN GENTLEMANConceivably

THOMAS DUDLEY or EMMANUEL DOWNING

(963)

somewhat similar may be found a little earlier and later.

There are two very well-known examples of shirt, collar,

and robe shown as in this picture:

Sir Dudley Digges (1583-1639) with no cap nor long

hair. See A. Brown's "Genesis of the United

States," Volume 1, page 340. The cap was preva-

lent at this time, the robe more generally in use

about 1660.

George Percy (1 580-1632) with no cap. See "TheFounders," Volume 1, page 197.

Both of the above pictures appear to have been done

not far from the year 1630. But the best parallel for

this portrait is the picture of Constantijn Huygens

( 1 596-1 687), the great Dutch writer and scholar, by

Joannes Livius (Jan Livens), and engraved by Lucas

Vorsterman, a Dutchman, who lived in England for sev-

eral years during the reign of Charles I. Huygens

studied at London and Oxford, and was a warm friend

of Dr. Donne. He appears in the portrait a man of

thirty-five to forty, which would suggest 1 631-1636 as

a date for the costume.

Assuming that our sitter is between fifty and sixty-

five (sixty would be my guess), who of the great in

New England were of that age at about 1630-163 5?

In other words, who were born between 1570 and 1585?

The earlier the date of birth the better. That is the

problem.

2. Died after 1630.

This assumes that the picture was painted in 1630

or later.

965

3. Important man officially and socially, that is, of a

family of portrait rank.

A man might conceivably have a portrait painted who

did not belong to a family socially accustomed to such

a practice.

4. Belonged to a family having known portraits.

5. Features in other portraits of the family not un-

like this.

6. Lived near Lynn or Boston, where Dr. Clark prob-

ably found the picture.

The picture might, of course, have been painted far

away from the place where it was found. The condi-

tion, however, has some slight value.

Finally, it is evident that the picture may represent

a man who never came to New England. It may be the

plaything of chance wanderings. But if the portrait of

Bellingham was done in Boston in 1641, it is not neces-

sary to make as one of the conditions of identification

the presence of the sitter in England.

Possible Persons Represented by the Lynn Portrait

under the suggested conditions

Conditions

met:

2 Isaac Allerton, 1586-1 659. Came 1620. Wealthy,

an Assistant, and in England 1626, 1627, 1629, and

in 1 63 1, when he was 45. He died at New Haven.

Good inventory. No pictures mentioned.

236 Samuel Appleton, 1 586-1 670. Came 1635. Lived

in Ipswich. Not known that he went back to Eng-

land. In 1635 he was 50. Mr. W. S. Appleton

says that this does not look like an Appleton.

966

12 William Brewster, i 560-1 644. A.B., Peterhouse,

1580. Lived at Plymouth. Not known to have

returned to England. Very full inventory. No pic-

tures mentioned.

2 John Brown, 1 584-1 662. Came about 1635, when

he was 51. Plymouth and Taunton. Later years

spent in Rhode Island. In England 1655, when

he was 71.

23456 Emmanuel Downing, 1585-about 1660. Came 1638,

aged 53. Of Salem. Representative but not As-

sistant. Downing was in England in 1642 and 1644.

His son Sir George's portrait is the frontispiece to

Volume two of the "Founders." There is not

much similarity in features, although both might be

said to have unformed features or to lack clean-cut

features. He was of a circle, most of whom were

portrayed.

123456 Thomas Dudley, 1 576-1653. Came 1630, aged 54.

Of Cambridge, Ipswich, Roxbury. Governor. In

1635 he was 59, a distinguished scholar and leader,

known to prominent men in London and Holland.

The portrait of his son, Governor Joseph, does and

does not look like this picture.

234 William Hutchinson, 1586-1642. Came 1634, aged

48. Not known to have gone back. Lived in Boston

and later in Rhode Island. Friends and relatives

had portraits.

246 Thomas Leverett, 1585-1630. Came 1633, aged 48.

Of Boston. Not known to have returned to Eng-

land. A ruling leader but not a magistrate.

2 Myles Standish, about 1 587-1 656. Came 1620. In

London 1625, aged 39. The inventory of his es-

tate is very detailed, but no pictures are mentioned.

967

2 William Swayne, 1585-about 1657. Came 1635, aged

50. Magistrate in Connecticut and had little to do

with Massachusetts.

12 William Thomas, i 5 73-1 65 1. Came about 1640, aged

67. Assistant. Lived at Marshfield and Plymouth.

Not known to have returned to England.

123 Henry Wolcott, 1578-1655. Came 1630, aged 52.

Magistrate. Not known to have returned to Eng-

land. Died in Connecticut.

26 Robert Woodmanscy, about 15 87-1 667. A.B., St.

John's College, 1609. Came about 1635, aged about

48. Schoolmaster in Ispwich and Boston. Not

known to have returned to England.

Of these candidates Downing and Dudley seem the

most hopeful. Dudley comes nearer the desired age in

1635 or J640 in my opinion. Both had family ties

north of Boston, where the portrait may have laid un-

noticed for centuries. If it be said that a portrait of

Dudley, on account of his eminence, could not have gone

unnoticed, then Downing would be the likelier sitter.

If, on the other hand, Governor Joseph Dudley's face

more nearly resembles the face of the sitter than Sir

George Downing's does, then it may be a portrait of

Thomas Dudley.

If we assume that the portrait was painted as late

as 1640, and that no one of those mentioned above is

represented, the following men who might be considered

on account of their prominence seem to me to be too

young in 1640 to be portrayed in this picture:

William Bradford, 1 590-165 7. Came 1620.

Richard Dummer, about 1 598-1 679. Came 1632, aged 34.

968

Theophilus Eaton, 1591-1657/8. Came 1637, aged 46.

John Haynes, 1594-1654. Came 1633, aged 39.

William Hibbins, about 1 600-1 654. Came 1634, aged about 34.

John Humfrey, about 1596-1641?. Came 1634, aged about 38.

Robert Keayne, 1 595-1 656. Came 1635, aged 40.

Roger Ludlow, 1590-165 4. Came 1630, aged 40.

Increase Nowell, 1 590-1 665. Came 1630, aged 40.

William Poole, 1 593-1 674. His father's portrait known. Came

1630?, aged about 37.

Samuel Symonds, 1 595-1 678. Came 1637, aged 42. (Not like

nephew's face.)

William Vassal, 1593-1653. Came 1630, 1635, aged 37, 42.

Most of the other prominent men whose names will

come to mind were born after 1600 and reached the

age of sixty or even fifty at a period too late for the

costume.

Prominent Men of the Period Whose Portraits

are Known:

Richard Bellingham Sir Richard Saltonstall

Simon Bradstreet Edward Winslow

John Endecott John Winthrop

about twenty, presents to us a handsome youth with

beautiful brown locks falling down his neck."

Nelson, John, i 654-1 734. Merchant.

In Prime's "Descent of John Nelson" it is said: "This

portrait, formerly in the possession of Senator James

Lloyd, of Boston, was presented by him (1824) to

Mr. John Nelson Lloyd, of Lloyd's Neck, Long Island,

New York, and is now [1894] the property of his

descendants.

"The painting, 36 X 44^ inches, nearly full face,

inclined to the right, dress of a magistrate, wig, the left

hand holds folds of gown, the right hand leans on a

couple of books, which are supported by a pediment, on

was acquired about 1895 Dv Dr. Richard H. Derby, of

New York, and is now [1922] owned by his son, James

Lloyd Derby, Esq., of Syosset, Long Island."

The original is reproduced with reasonable accuracy

in Prime's "Descent of John Nelson." In the "Memo-rial History of Boston," Volume II, page 15, the right

hand seems to clasp gloves instead of leaning on two

books placed on a table. The bob has disappeared from

the wig, and also the coat of arms.

Copies

"I have a fac-simile copy of this portrait made for

me, through the kind permission of the owner, in 1879,

by O. J. Lay, of New York.

"There is [1894] also a copy in the possession of

970

Miss Alida Borland, of Boston, by Frothingham, exe-

cuted prior to 1824.

"Miss Borland's painting is smaller than the original,

but the figure appears to be of the same dimensions;

the left hand is omitted and the right one is in an hori-

zontal position, and rests on a single book." The book

is just below the end of the cravat. The coat of arms

does not appear, but a robe has been thrown over his

right arm.

Miss Alida L. Borland's copy was inherited by John

Nelson Borland, Esq., 116 East 39th Street, New York.

"It is painted on wood. The eyes are blue, the figure

is dressed in a darkish red material that looks to me

like velvet, a long, white stock, and white lace cuffs

showing; and upon the head a barrister's wig, parted

in the middle, one end of the same falling over the

right shoulder." Letter, 15 December, 1921.

Extract from Temple Prime's "Descent of John

Nelson and of His Children," New York, 1894, page 28 :

"Mr. Augustus T. Perkins, writing to me from Bos-

ton, under date of April 5, 1880, says:

"'I went today to see the portrait of Mr. John Nelson

at Miss Borland's, and had a long look at the picture.

"'I have no doubt about it; the copy is a good one,

and is a fair example of Smibert's manner.

"'I have no doubt as to the original being by Smibert,

as the only other painter of note who could have painted

it was Blackburn, and I am sure it is not by him. It

has, in fact, all the marks of Smibert about it.

"T have just had a nice copy made of a fine Smibert

of old Col. [?] Edward Winslow; during the painting of

971

this copy I had a chance to study Smibert's manner, and

on this account I speak confidently about the Lloyd por-

trait of Mr. Nelson.

"'A Blackburn might be mistaken for an early Copley,

but Smibert had a manner quite his own.'"

The New Haven Portrait

This portrait represents a young woman wearing an

embroidered cap and a large ruff. The outlines of the

shoulders are scarcely distinguishable from the back-

ground. In the upper right corner of the canvas is an

heraldic shield with helmet (facing the observer), crest,

and mantling. In the upper left corner are the words:

^ETATIS SV7E

25

16 35

Two modern inscriptions disfigure the canvas. At the

top:

"Supposed to be

Painted in 1635, two years

before the Settlement of New Haven

Age of the Person, 25 years."

The second inscription reads:

Ancient Portrait, formerly in the New Haven Museum;

supposed to be that of a Relative of Governor Eaton.

At the right, is the Shield divided into three pile, or wedged-

shaped parts; on the sinister division is a running Greyhound,

which distinguishes the Arms of the Morton family of Cheshire

Co., Eng., of which was the wife of Gov. Eaton.

972

THE NEW HAVEN SITTER

Born 1610. Painted 1635

(973)

Resting on the Shield, appears to be a full-faced Helmet, desig-

nating a Baronet, or Knight.

The Crest, above the Helmet, appears to be a Ducal Coronet,

with the Feathers of the Prince of Wales. This is conjectured to

have reference to the Yale family, whose progenitors were of the

first order of Nobility in N. Wales.

The maiden name of Mrs. Eaton was Ann Morton; her first

husband, David Yale.

These statements were probably prepared by John W.Barber, the historian of New England, who gave the

picture to the New Haven Colony Historical Society in

1864. It came from Hooker's New Haven Museum,

but back of that ownership nothing is known. The pic-

ture was cleaned and varnished in January, 1922, by

Mr. Sodersten, of New Haven, under the direction of

Mr. Lawrence E. Bostwick, the librarian, and for the

first time photographed. A small woodcut, however,

appears in Atwater's "History of the Colony of NewHaven," page 1 15.

The Eaton tradition seems to have little support from

ascertainable facts. In 1635, when the face was painted,

Gov. Theophilus Eaton's first wife, Grace Hiller, had

been dead ten years. His second wife, then living, was

Anne Lloyd, daughter of the Bishop of Chester, and

widow of Thomas Yale. These arms do not represent

Eaton, Hiller, Lloyd, Morton, or Yale. The Eaton

children were all too young to be the subject painted;

and this is true likewise of the Yale children. Not much

can be discovered concerning the immediate relatives of

the Governor and his wives. But it is hardly worth while

975

to search in this field, for the arms are almost certainly

not English.

Mr. Pierre de C. la Rose, of Cambridge, Massachu-

setts, an authority on Heraldry, writes 8 March, 1922:

"It is a shield of 3 small charges (1 and 2) which

has been 'chape' of two tinctures—the chape at sinis-

ter charged with a collared greyhound, and thus, pre-

sumably, that at dexter similarly charged, and the two

countercoloured. The coat is not English; it is not

characteristically French; it might just possibly be Spanish

— and the chances are that it is German, as the coronet

and feather crest would lead one to suspect."

Mr. Charles L. N. Camp, of New Haven, thinks that

the middle section of the three divisions of the shield

is per fess argent and gules. A billet or couped bar above

and two similar charges below seem to be evident, but

they may be more intricate charges than now appear.

The greyhound springing or segreant is apparently argent

or gray.

Mr. Bostwick writes:

"So far as I can make out, the dog is not colored.

If it was originally, the color has entirely disappeared.

I imagine that it might have been gray, to represent the

natural color of a greyhound. The three dots are mys-

teries. The varnish and paint are so cracked right in

that spot that it is impossible to tell what they were

meant for. As for the third segment, there is no design

or color left."

Upon further study of the photograph I think that

I can see the head of a rabbit—a rabbit's head erased

—

in the upper part of the segment and facing the dexter.

976

Possibly an entire rabbit segreant or standing on its hind

legs was the charge. We have, then, these arms:

A shield divided into three segments by an inverted

pile, called a shield chape. The centre segment per

fess argent and gules charged with three small objects,

one and two. The sinister segment (at the observer's

right) is light, and bears a gray( ?), springing greyhound

looking backward or reguardant, and wearing a collar.

The segment at the left or dexter is very dark, and may

possibly have in chief a rabbit's head erased, or cut off

raggedly. The crest seems to show a tuft of feathers

issuing from a ducal coronet, but they are not distinct.

This coat should disclose the name of the sitter, but

as yet no satisfactory solution has been found. The

nearest arms to these, sent by Mr. A. T. Butler of the

College of Arms, Queen Victoria Street, London, are

of Strigler von Lowenburg. The left or dexter segment

is green, and shows a demi lion crowned issuing from a

mound, and holding a sword. The right or sinister

segment is silver, with a springing dog. No member

of the family can as yet be connected with America.

Peter, Hugh, 1598-1660.

Portrait seen 10 July, 1925. Hair and eyes brown.

Lace-edged white shirt under collar. Two rows of buttons.

An example of the confusion which is likely to arise

from a lack of honesty in the use of portraits may be

seen by consulting "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean

Undertaken by Captains Cook, Clerke, and Gore," pub-

lished at Philadelphia in 181 8. The frontispiece to

Volume two is a copper plate portrait inscribed, "Cap-

977

tain Charles Clerke." This is really a portrait of Hugh

Peter, the one which appears in Volume two of "The

Founders," engraved by Leney, and holding a roll in his

right hand.

Philipse, Frederick, i 626-1 702. Merchant.

This picture, painted in 1674 by Henri Couturier, was

seen at the March, 1924, art exhibition of the Union

League Club. From Mr. Thomas B. Clarke's invaluable

catalogue I take this statement: "According to the letter-

ing on this portrait, it was painted in New Orange in

1674 and was signed by the monogram [H C interlaced

with a merchant's mark(?) above], the first two initials

being those of the artist Couturier. Searching for proof

that the portrait was by him, this monogram was found

on a ship register of a 'list of goods' sent to NewAmstel, on the South River of New Netherland, on

May 5, 1663, from Amsterdam. In the margin next

to the entry concerning the shipment of goods from

Jacob Coetrier to Hendrick Coetrier is the reproduction

of this monogram. It was evidently placed there in

acknowledgment of the receipt of goods, just as today

we sign for the delivery of goods by express, etc."

The sitter's name is given as "F VLIPSE."

From Prof. Adriaan J. Barnouw, of Columbia Uni-

versity, I received the following very helpful letter, dated

December 22, 1924:

"It gives me great pleasure to send you the following facts

about Hendrick Couturier, which I derive from Dr. Bredius'

article.

978

"Couturier was the son of Hendrick Couturier, the elder, who

came to Leyden from the province of Limburch, and was employed

at Leyden in the cloth industry. The son was born in Leyden

but the date of his birth is not known, owing to the incomplete-

ness of the register of baptisms of the Walloon church. He regis-

tered his intention to marry Lysbeth Coppijn, from Valenciennes,

on January the 8th, 1648, at the Leyden Town Hall. The same

record is also found in the books of the Walloon church, where

he is described as a painter. In that same year, 1648, he joined

the St. Luke's Guild, but in the following year an entry has been

added to his name to the effect that he had left the city. Nothing

more can be found about him in the Leyden archives, but fortu-

nately Dr. Van Laer, archivist of the State of New York in

Albany, has discovered a few documents that throw some light on

his later history. On June 12, 1663, Hendrick Couturier's wife

(the name in these New Netherland records is sometimes written

Coutrie) was sued because she kept a store without possessing

citizenship. She defended herself with the plea that citizenship

had been given her by the Director General in return for the por-

trait that her husband had painted of His Excellency, and for

the drawings that he had done of his children. This is probably

the portrait, says Dr. Bredius, which is now in the collection of

the Historical Society of New York, to which it was presented

by Mr. Van Rensselaer Stuyvesant. According to Dr. Van Laer,

the earliest mention of Couturier's name in the New Netherland

records is of 1661, and refers to him as a merchant at New Amstel,

on the South River (the Delaware). In 1662, three children

of his, called Isaac, Jacob, and Rebecca, were baptized in the

Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam. The name of his

wife, Elizabeth, occurs repeatedly in the records. In 1674, she

sold, under power of attorney, a house in New York which the

painter-merchant had purchased in 1669. Her husband was a

member of the Council of New Netherland in 1663 and became

a deacon of the Dutch Reformed Church in 1670. After 1674,

979

however, his name does no longer occur in the records in America.

"This is the gist of Dr. Bredius' account of Couturier's life.

When Elizabeth was sued for keeping a store without possessing

citizenship, the reference was, of course, to what in Dutch is called

'burgerrecht,' the purchased or inherited right of citizenship in

a city. She was evidently not a burger of New Amsterdam."

Phips, Sir William, i 651-1695.

At the March meeting of the Massachusetts Historical

Society, 1876, Charles Deane spoke of a portrait of

Phips owned by Francis B. Hayes, of Boston. This is

reproduced in the "Memorial History of Boston,"

Volume 2, page 36, and represents a man in the cos-

tume of a period at least half a century after Phips's

death, which took place in 1695. Obviously the picture

does not represent Sir William.

William Goold gives the history of this Hayes-Phips

portrait. It is said to have belonged to Thomas Thomp-

son, a Boston merchant, who lived at various addresses

during the first half of the nineteenth century. He died

in 1867, leaving a large collection of pictures to be sold.

Francis B. Hayes, of Mt. Vernon Street, owned the

"Phips" picture in 1879, having obtained it in Wash-

ington, D. C. It was engraved as a frontispiece to

Mr. Goold's life of Phips in the Maine Historical Society

collections, Volume ix (1887). The subject is repre-

sented as seated at a table with his right hand on

several papers, one of which is marked W. P. (But

Miss Elizabeth P. Patterson, of Wiscasset, wrote to

Mr. Lawrence Park that when she copied the portrait

for the Maine Historical Society in 19 10, she could not

980

find the initials W. P.) He has a plump face, short

wig, dark coat over a long, light waistcoat, ruffled shirt

or cravat, long sleeve cuffs of the period of 1750. It

has been used frequently to represent Phips.

The Rev. Henry O. Thayer, writing in the Eastern

Argus, Portland, December 2, 191 1, referred to the

Hayes portrait as owned by William Phipps Blake, of

"Mill Rock" in New Haven, "where the copy was made

which is now the prized gift in the library of the Maine

Historical Society." Mrs. Blake was the sister of Francis

B. Hayes, the previous owner of the original.

Plaisted, Roger, 1627-1675 ( ?).

George T. Davis spoke to the Massachusetts Histori-

cal Society in November, 1870 (page 485) about a

portrait said to represent Sir William Phips. It was

then owned by Miss Elizabeth B. Blackstone, one of

three sisters, dressmakers, from Portland, Maine. Hesaid:

"It represents a man about forty years of age, with

periwig, bright armor on the arms and shoulders, and

embroidered vest; giving the idea of a combination of

military and civic position. It is very well executed,

having on the back the name of Plaisted, which is prob-

ably the name of the artist."

Miss Blackstone was descended from the Phipps family

of Charlestown, Massachusetts, not from Sir William

Phips's line. Through her ancestor, Danforth Phipps,

she came from Roger Plaisted, progenitor of a distin-

guished family at Kittery. The costume, taken in con-

nection with the name Plaisted on the canvas, suggests

981

Roger, the Indian fighter, who was born abroad in 1627

and killed in 1675. Penn was painted in armor in 1666,

a date suitable for this canvas.

At a meeting of the same Society in February, 1876,

Francis Parkman called attention again to this portrait.

At the next meeting the President and the Recording

Secretary reported that they had seen the canvas, which

was in a dilapidated condition. It had been, it was stated,,

in the Blackstone family at least since 1830. The com-

mittee decided that evidence to connect the portrait with

Sir William Phips was lacking; but Roger Plaisted did

not occur to them.

In 1 88 1 the Rev. George E. Ellis stated ("Memorial

History of Boston," Volume 2, page 36) that the pic-

ture was believed to be in Bangor. Beyond this date

there is as yet no trace of the picture. Mr. Lawrence

Park, who has made a study of the Blackstone family,

found that when Miss Elizabeth Blackstone died in the

Old Ladies' Home in Bangor in 1897, she left nothing

but some old jewelry.

Provoost, Johannes, c.i 630-1 706.

The New York Historical Society Quarterly Bulletin

for April, 1925, announced the gift of several Provoost

portraits from Mr. Dunkin H. Sill. Among them are

"Johannes Provoost first Clerk of Fort Orange and Vil-

lage of Beaverwyck, 165 6-1 664," and Annetie his wife.

Their portraits, photographed by Peter A. Juley & Son,

are reproduced in its Bulletin for January, 1926, but are

here erroneously, as it seems to me, called David and

982

WILLIAM PYNCHON1590-1662

Not cut down

(983)

Tryntie. He is in an oval; the eyes and wig are dark

brown; the stock white; the coat dark red.

On a label pasted on the back of the portrait is the

name "Johannis Provoost" in an ornamental geometric

design which (writes Mr. Wall) "dates back, accord-

ing to Mr. Sill, to 1762, when the portrait was re-

framed." Some one has added "1685" with a pen.

Mr. Sill, former owner, now believes that David, Jr.,

portraits of whose daughter and granddaughter still

exist, and not Johannes, is depicted. I am indebted to

Mr. Alexander J. Wall for much helpful information.

Pynchon, William, 1 590-1 662.

If the full length of the coat were shown in the re-

production on page 453 of Volume 2, six buttons more

would be shown on the left, and on the right, five more

to the G. of the inscription referred to on page 645.

Randolph, Col. William, 1651 ( ?)—1711. Planter.

His portrait (with twisted cravat) appears on page 201

of "The Founders," from a copy. A half-tone repro-

duction of "the original in the collection of Edward

Carrington Mayo, Richmond, Virginia," representing

"William Randolph of Turkey Island," will be found

in "John Randolph, of Roanoke, 1 773-1 833," by Wil-

liam Cabell Bruce, two volumes, New York, 1922, op-

posite page 8.

This portrait of Colonel William, opposite page 8,

was done about 1702, and seems to represent the above

William Randolph, born about 1651. The upper right

portrait, opposite page 750 of "Ancestral Records and

985

Portraits," with short, flowing cravat, may be the same

man, but done about 1695 or 1700.

The portrait of a woman, opposite page 10 of the

John Randolph biography, has the title, "Mary Isham,

wife of William Randolph of Turkey Island." She was

born in 1660 and died in 1735. Her costume shows a

lace cap or hood, a kerchief or fichu covering the shoul-

ders and bosom, coming down to a point at the waist.

Over the bosom, ribbons attached to the bodice cross the

kerchief, and meet in a bow. The sleeve ruffles of lace

flare conspicuously. Examples similar in costume seem

to place the date of this picture later than 1735, the

year of her death, and nearer the period of Maria, born

1 7 14, daughter of Hon. Mann Page, of Rosewell, and

wife of William Randolph, of Tuckahoe, born 171 2.

These examples are:

"Mary Thong," 1711-1765, wife of Robert Livingston, 1708-

1790. The costume is very similar to that of "Mary Isham."

Here Robert and Mary are about 40-45 years of age, making

the dates of the pictures about 1753. See pages 227 and 272

of E. B. Livingston's "The Livingstons of Livingston Manor,"

1910.

"Anne Kirten," 17 16-1773, wife of John Waddell; a

woman of 40, done by John Wollaston. Said by Mr. Park to

have been painted about 1 762-1 772. See A. B. Keep's "History

of the New York Society Library," 1908, opposite page 188.

Done 1750—1760, probably.

Mrs. Smith, wife of Benjamin Smith, nee Loughton. By

Jeremiah Theus, 17 19-1774. Aged about 30. See Alice M.Earle's "Two Centuries of Costume in America," 1903, facing

EDWARD RAWSON1615-1693

Not cut down

(987)

Jane Bolling, i 703-1 766, wife of Richard Randolph. She

looks rather young for the period of 1 745-1 760, but the dress

is a parallel. Her husband, who is also portrayed, died in 1749.

See Virginia Historical Magazine, Volume 22, page 442.

"Mrs. Allen," of Claremont, Virginia, owned by Herbert

Pratt, and done, according to Mr. Park (and Mr. Bayley, to

whom I am indebted for the photograph), about 1758, by Wollas-

ton. Her husband's portrait is very clearly like that of Col.

Fielding Lewis, born 1725, and about 30 to 35 years of age. If

this was done about 1758, it may represent the first wife of

Joseph Allen's son, the first Colonel William (born about 1730

and will 1 790), who inherited property at "Clearemont" from

his uncle, John Allen. She was Clara Walker, born 1737 and

dead before 1764.

If the above instances place the costume at 1745-

1760, then "Alida Schuyler, 1 656-1 729, " shown oppo-

site page 58 of Mr. Livingston's book as the wife of

Robert Livingston, first lord of the Manor, would fit

the dates of Catherine Van Brugh, 1 689-1 756, wife of

Philip Livingston, 1 686-1 749, second lord.

Rawson, Edward, 161 5-1693, and Rebecca.

His portrait was copied about 1905 by Harvey Young

for Gov. John F. Hill, of Maine; owned by Mrs. John

F. Hill, 1920. Copied also about 1902 by a Museum

of Fine Arts School student; of this Gen. C. G. Loring's

comment was, "My God! couldn't she do better than

that?"

The engraving in the New England Historical and

Genealogical Register for July, 1849, shows the arms

too far apart and omits Rawson's left hand, which shows

in the painting. The white collar does not in the en-

989

graving fall away from the shoulder on the left, as it

should.

The originals of Edward and Rebecca, after being

folded and otherwise badly treated, came to the NewEngland Historic Genealogical Society. Alexander James

of the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, son of Prof.

William James, "restored" them, as they now (1925)

appear. The man's face is not much altered, but Re-

becca's has lost much of its original refinement and

loveliness. Some of the details shown in the engravings

made in 1849 f°r tne Genealogical Register (Volume 3)

were brought; out in the costumes of both, but Edward's

face was not retouched except about the mouth, where

a small piece of timber pierced the canvas during the

final work on the building in 19 12.

The original canvas of Rebecca's portrait has been

folded and the paint in the creases has fallen off. In

this condition excellent photographs were made, and from

one of these Mr. William Prescott Greenlaw, librarian

of the New England Historic Genealogical Society in

Boston, has given permission for the accompanying photo-

gravure to be made.

The photogravure of Edward Rawson on page 457of Volume 2 loses a little of the sleeve on each side from

too much trimming.

Savage, Thomas, 1 607/8-1 68 1/2.

Too close trimming of the photogravure on page 465

of Volume 2 has removed half of the coat of arms, which

has on the shield six lioncelles. The portrait is also

reproduced by a woodcut in the "Memorial History of

At the left of the picture (in the engraving) and on a line

with the epaulet appear three ships, near a hill which

carries a flaming beacon. Below the ships there is a plain,

on which appear tents, and soldiers drilling. Little of

this detail appears today.

Scrooby Manor Portrait.

In the rooms of Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth, I saw on

21 December, 1920, a portrait of a man. Mr. Arthur

Lord informed me that Dr. Henry M. Dexter bought

the portrait when on a visit to Scrooby Manor some years

ago. Mr. Lord was very emphatic in stating that the

person depicted was not of the Mayflower Company.

Indeed, the broad linen collar of the portrait is usually

to be associated with the period of 1 640-1 650, not with

1620. The face is weather bronzed and rough; evi-

dently the face of a rollicking roysterer, who would have

been ill at ease in the Mayflower cabin. If he really

once lived at Scrooby, he very likely had little intercourse

with William Brewster, although they were of about the

same age when Brewster lived at Scrooby.

The catalogue on sale at Pilgrim Hall has this to say

of the portrait: "Portrait of an Unknown person which

once hung in Scrooby Manor. Age of the subject, 69.

Painted by Robert Streator, 1624-1680. Loaned by

Charles Stedman Hanks of Boston."

993

Sears, Richard, died 1676.

In Freeman's "History of Cape Cod," Volume 1, op-

posite page 138, there is an alleged portrait of the im-

migrant. The pedigree, which was printed in " Pictures

of the Olden Time," 1857, and worked up by Col.

H. G. Somerby, is now known to be spurious. The por-

trait which accompanies the pedigree is equally without

authority.

Samuel P. May, in his book, "The Descendants of

Richard Sares (Sears)," pages 13 and 14, says: 'Tn a

note to the first edition of thel

Pictures' [of the Olden

Time] the portrait of Richard, 'The Pilgrim,' is said to

be from the Egmond Gallery in Amsterdam, which more

definitely locates it.

"There is no reason for believing that Richard Sares was ever

in Holland, but some descendants from the Colchester Sayers

took service, and married in the Netherlands, and portraits of

some of that family may have been preserved there; the picture

bears also some likeness to an engraving of the Rev. Samuel Seyer,

the historian of Bristol, Engd., in my possession."

Domine Selyns's Portrait.

"Mrs. Henricus Selens died in 17 12, and in her will

are the following bequests:lTo the children of Wolfert

and Arnout Webber, the pictures of the father and mother

of my late husband and his brother.' 1 At this date it is

not known what became of this portrait." Her husband

officiated from 1682 to 1701.

A Seventeenth Century FrenchmanFor want of a better name, I have so ticketed a charm-

ing little portrait, 9 X i2y2 inches in size, representing

a young man of twenty-five or thirty years of age, with

smooth face, long, curly brown hair, hazel eyes, a white

flat collar about the size of John Page's (page 193), but

lace bordered, and a dark coat. This portrait was said

by the Ehrlich Gallery of New York to be by Paul van

Soma ( 1 576-1 621). It was long owned by Miss Hen-

rietta Marks, of New York, an Englishwoman, who left

it to Father Morrill, an Episcopal rector, from whomit passed to J. Vaughan Morrill, of Brookline, Mass.

In 1909, Mrs. Helen Fuller Fowle, of Cambridge, pur-

chased it from Mr. Morrill.

The canvas seems very old, and of almost equal age

are scraps of a French newspaper or printed page which

appear to be glued to the back of the canvas.

Sewall, Samuel, 165 2-1 730. Chief Justice.

The following note refers to the portrait in the Massa-

chusetts Historical Society which was owned in 1895 Dv

Miss Ridgway. It is reproduced on page 469 of Vol-

ume 2, but unfortunately the large leather ( ?) chair back

which shows in the painting has been lost in the photo-

gravure. It extends to the left from Sewall's cap, and

down diagonally, just outside his elbow.

"The reproduction of Chief Justice Sewall's portrait, which

is far and away the best that has ever been made, is to be found

in Volume 1 of The Colonial Society's Publications, opposite

page 89. Mr. Goodell went to large expense in having this

plate made, employing Mr. Decamp to make what was then called

a sun picture directly from the canvas.'* (Letter of H. H. Edes.)

995

The reproduction referred to above brings out the

details very clearly.

Stoughton, William, 1631-1701. Governor.

This portrait of William Stoughton, chief justice dur-

ing the famous witchcraft trials, was purchased from

Mr. Frank W. Bayley by the Boston Athenaeum in Feb-

ruary, 1920.

The following letter from Elizabeth Brown tells the

history of the picture: "This portrait of Lieut. Gov.

William Stoughton was painted by Evert Duycking, ac-

cording to a record in my great-grandaunt Mary Byles's

Bible. It was painted in 1685 at Dorchester. My great-

grandmother, Elizabeth Brown, was a sister of Maryand Catherine [Byles], of Boston. These three were

the daughters of Mather Byles, Pastor of Hollis Street

Church, and Rebecca Tailor Byles. She was the daugh-

ter of Lieut. Gov. William Tailor. He was the nephew

and chief heir of Lieut. Gov. William Stoughton."

The Bible referred to was printed by Christopher

Barker in 1595. Opposite the Psalms, page 242, these

words are written: "William Stoughton Dyed ye7th of

July 1 701 aged 70 years his likeness drawn by Evert

Duycking limner 1685 in north room."

This portrait of Stoughton at the age of about fifty-

four is in a painted gray spandrel. The eyes are dark

blue, the hair reddish brown, complexion florid, the coat

mahogany. The sight measurement of the canvas is

25 X 29^ inches; stretcher, 25^ X 30.

In January-February, 1924, Miss Mary B. Hazelton

made a copy, stretcher 25 X 30, for the State House

in Boston, given by the Boston Athenaeum.

996

Strijcker, Jan, i6i f]-i6gj( ?). Magistrate.

The original painting on canvas was exhibited by

Mr. Thomas B. Clarke at the Union League Club, NewYork, in March, 1924, and the same year at the opening

exhibition in the American Wing of the Metropolitan

Museum of Art. To Mr. Clarke I am indebted for a

photograph. The painting is signed on the front: y£ta-

tis 38. 1655. The hair is dark brown, the eyes brown,

the coat black, the background a warm gray-brown.

On the back of the canvas is written: "Given to Altje

by her father, Jacobus Gerritsen Strycker, who himself

drew this likeness of his brother Jan.

(Signed) J. C. Van Voorhees"

Van Voorhees was Altje Strijcker's nephew.

Strijcker may have painted also the portrait of Adriaen

van der Donck, and others yet to be considered.

Taylor, Col. James, 1 674-1 729.

W. K. Anderson's "Donald Robertson and his wife

Rachel Rogers," published about 1900, has opposite

pages 229 and 231 Virginia portraits of "Colonel James

Taylor 2nd, Born March 14, 1674, Died June 23, 1729,"

and "Mrs. Martha Thompson Taylor (in early woman-

hood) Born 1679, Died 1762." From the man's natu-

ral hair, high stock and high coat collar (see Chancellor

Livingston, b. 1746), and from the woman's costume,

the pictures seem to represent the period of 1790-18 10.

Van Cortlandt, Oloff Stevense, 16 10-1684.

Merchant.

Canvas, 23 X 28^ inches; by Henri Couturier, ex-

hibited at the Century Association, New York, in No-

vember, 1925. We are indebted to Mr. Thomas B.

Clarke for the photograph from which our illustration

is made. On the front of the canvas, in lettering not

unlike Old English, is the inscription: "Oleff Stevense

Van Cortlandt," followed by the artist's trademark. 4,

"The general coloring shades from a deep sepia and

wine red of the cloak to a lighter red of the flesh. The

background is a medium, rather dull brown oval, with

very dark brown corners painted in to make the picture

a square. He wears a long curling chestnut wig, which

matches his eyes, and a wine red velvet cloak thrown

around the shoulders (in the grand manner!) His face

is almost a brick red."

Katharine B. Dodge.

Van der Donck, Adriaen, died 1655.

The canvas is 18 X 23 inches, and was exhibited at

the Union League Club, New York, in January, 1923.

It had then been in possession of the Strijcker family

for seven generations. Mr. Thomas B. Clarke writes

30 May, 1923:

"The hair is brown-black, and the eyes are brown.

The coat is black, with gilded buttons. A dark gray

cape is shown over the right shoulder, and a small black

skullcap is suggested on the head. The collar is white."

The picture is reproduced in The New York Tribune

for January 14, 1923, and is discussed in the World of

998

the same day. It is said to have been done about 1655,

and perhaps by Jacobus Strijcker.

Vane, Sir Henry the Younger, 1 613-1662.

Governor.

In March, 1925, a portrait of Sir Henry Vane was

secured by the Massachusetts State Art Commission and

now hangs in the State House. The canvas came from

Raby Castle, and was presented jointly by Lord Barnard,

the owner, and by the Society of Colonial Wars.

It represents the sitter's head and shoulders in an oval,

with hair dark brown, eyes brown (rather dark), a fine

color in the face, and robe of black silk. Mr. H. Dudley

Murphy writes: "A portrait so distinguished in quality

that it might well be by as great a master as Vandyke,

though painted with less impasto and lacking certain

silvery grays that characterize Vandyke's work."

Vreeland, Michael Jansen, 1610-

In "The Vreelands," by N. G. Vreeland (1909), is

a portrait on page 145, inscribed underneath with the

name of "Michael Jansen Vreeland," who was born in

1 610 in Zeeland, arrived in Manhattan in 1638, and

died in 1663. On bringing "Vreeland" and Steenwyck

face to face, they prove to be alike except for the span-

drels, Steenwyck's being oval and "Vreeland's" archi-

tectural, with a place for a label, in which a magnifying-

The Whetcomb Portraits

James Whetcomb, merchant of Boston, in his will,

dated 7 November, 1686, mentions "my father's and

my mother's pictures." James himself was a man of

some standing, whose funeral was referred to in Sewall's

Diary (November 29, 1686) as follows:

"Coffin was lined with cloth on the outside, and below

the name and year a St Andrew's cross made, with what

intent I can't tell."

The names of his parents have not been found, al-

though his mother was a sister of Capt. Edward Willis.

Benjamin Whetcomb, a London merchant doing busi-

ness with Boston in 1645, was °f James's father's gen-

eration, and Simon Whetcomb, of the "Massachusetts

Company," lived near Dorchester, England, in 1630,

and was of his grandfather's generation. "Peter" was

a favorite name with the English Whetcombs.1

In Clarence Winthrop Bowen's "The Boundary

Disputes of Connecticut," Boston, 1882, the heliotype

frontispiece portrait of Winthrop is "Copied from origi-

of New York." The oval frame here reproduced is of

contemporary design, or nearly so. The canvas in 1882

1003

was in such condition that the buttons on the coat do

not show in the picture. In 1899 Robert C. Win-

throp, Jr., referred to the original as "the well-known

but much discolored portrait."

WOODBRIDGE, REV. JOHN, 1614-1691.

This painting, on canvas 24 X 29 inches, is in what

appears to be the original gilt frame, and is owned by

Mrs. David Pearce Penhallow, of Boston, a descendant.

The wig is brown, the eyes hazel, the stock and under

sleeves white, the gown reddish brown^over a black coat.

I am informed by one of the descendants that this

picture is sometimes referred to as a portrait of the

Rev. John Woodbridge, Jr., a clergyman of Connecticut,

who died in 1691, aged forty-seven. The costume sug-

gests the father, better known as a magistrate, rather

than the son, always known as a clergyman; and the age

of the sitter, if he is an old man (as a careful study of

the face would seem to indicate), again suggests the

father rather than the son. The spandrel was used

through the eighteenth century, but it was more common

in the seventeenth. The costume is perhaps a little early

for 1690, but not unlike that worn by Jeremiah Dummerin 1 69 1, when Dummer painted his own portrait. It is

entirely possible that Dummer painted this portrait of

Woodbridge, who was a member of the General -Court

in early life with Jeremiah's father, Richard Dummer,

both of them being citizens of Newbury.

1004

A PROBABLE LIKENESS OF THEREV. JOHN COTTON

My attention has been called by Dr. Kenneth B.

Murdock to an ancient portrait which was given to the

Connecticut Historical Society at Hartford by General

Samuel L. Pitkin in the year 1844.

Mr. Albert C. Bates, Librarian of the Society, writes

of the portrait:

"The portrait was presented to the Society in December, 1844,

by Gen. Samuel L. Pitkin of East Hartford, with the statement

that it was a portrait of Increase Mather. At the same time he

presented a portrait of the third wife of Rev. Cotton Mather,

whom he calls Anna. I believe the genealogy gives her name

as Lydia. He also presented at the same time a copy which he

had made from an original of Mary Lord, an ancestress of his.

The mother of this General Pitkin was Sarah Parsons, born,

1764; died, 1843. This Sarah Parsons I find to be the great-

great-granddaughter of Rev. Eleazer Mather, the brother of Rev.

Increase Mather. You will note from the dates that Sarah Par-

sons was born only forty-one years after the death of Rev. In-

crease Mather, and if the portrait came to the donor through

her, it seems scarcely probable that its identity would have been

lost or mistaken during the period of about half a century."

On the stretcher in an early nineteenth century hand is

written, "Rev. Increase Mather."

This portrait represents a man somewhat beyond

middle life, with clerical bands, his right hand resting

upon his chest and in his left hand a Bible. Over his

left shoulder there is a curtain disclosing bookshelves.

1005

Over his right shoulder appears a scroll with the motto

:

Non est mortale quod opto. Everywhere there is evi-

dence that the portrait has been much altered.

A photograph of this canvas has been studied very

carefully in company with Mr. Worthington C. Ford,

Dr. Murdock, and Mr. J. Gardner Bartlett. I went

to Hartford June 16, 1925, and Mr. Bates examined

the portrait with me for over an hour by natural and

artificial light. We are agreed ( 1 ) that a square, linen

collar, such as those worn by the Rev. Hugh Peter,

William Pynchon, and Sir Richard Saltonstall, has been

imperfectly concealed by paint, and two very white bands

of a later type have been superimposed. This form of

the flat, linen collar—the lower outline chevron shaped

—places the sitter at about the period of 1630-50. Alater type—the lower outline straight—is shown in the

portrait of the Rev. John Davenport. We also agree

(2) that the sitter wears (or wore originally) a red-

dish brown cap such as appears in the portraits of Daven-

port, Endecott, Pynchon, and others; (3) that he had

a small, brown moustache and imperial or goatee (now

obliterated); (4) that his hair fell over both shoulders;

(5) that a large ribbon on either side of the head has

been blotted out and a smaller one substituted; (6) that

the background was originally green; (7) that the pres-

ent hand has been substituted for one placed just above

it; and (8) that an inscription in the upper left-hand

corner of the canvas beginning iEtat and ending An : 49has been blotted out by black paint.

The open Bible has been left untouched by the ruth-

less brush of the reconstructor. At the top of the left-

( 1007

)

hand page of the Bible in the sitter's hand as he observes

it is the word "Revelation." At the top of the right-

hand page is "Chap. II. III." On the right-hand

page Chapter III begins a little from the top of the first

column and ends at the bottom of the right-hand column.

The last verses (the chapter ends with 22) are made

by the artist heavier than the rest of the text, evidently

to call attention to this section of the printed page ; these

are the only words indicated so that they can be read.

With slight variations all these details conform to the

small quarto 1599 Barker Bible. 1

The significance of the Bible thus presented must be

that the sitter at the time the portrait was painted was

greatly interested in one or all of the concluding verses

of the third chapter of Revelation. What clergyman

about the period of 1630—50 was about sixty years of

age and was conspicuously interested in these passages?

The answer seems to be found in printed sermons

written by the Rev. John Cotton. The first is entitled

"GODS MERCIE MIXED WITH HIS IVSTICE"and published at London in S. DUNSTANES Church-

yard, 1 641. The opening section, "GODS MERCYIN HIS Peoples deliverance," is based upon the third

chapter of Revelation, the twentieth verse: "Behold I

stand at the doore and knocke." Verse 22 of the third

chapter was a favorite with Cotton. In a printed ser-

mon, "An Exposition upon the Thirteenth Chapter," etc.,

he mentions this verse three times on page 13.

If, therefore, the portrait is associated with a lover

of the Book of Revelation, it would seem to represent

1 In the Geneva edition Chapter III is on the left-hand page. Also in the KingJames version of 1614 and 1630.

1009

the Rev. John Cotton. That he was famous for his

devotion to the book of Revelation may be seen by any

one who reads the anecdote in Cotton Mather's life of

him:

"Another time, when Mr. Cotton had modestly Replyed unto

one that would much Talk and Crack of his Insight into the

Revelations; Brother, I must confess myself to want Light in

those Mysteries! the man went home, and sent him A Pound of

Candles; upon which Action, this Good Man bestowed only a

Silent Smile; he would not set the Becon of his Great Soul on

Fire, at the Landing of such a Little Cock-boat."

He also preached sermons on Revelation, Chapters 7,

13, 16, and 20, which are in print.

I have not been able as yet to find the same interest

shown by any other prominent New England divine,1

if printed sermons are to be taken as evidence. Thomas

Hooker, Thomas Shepard and others of their eminence

have been studied. The Rev. Thomas Hooker did not,

as far as we know, use a text in Revelation III for a

printed sermon. We do not find that the Rev. Thomas

Shepard, who is described as "a poor, weak, pale com-

plectioned man," printed a sermon based on this book

in the Bible. He and the Rev. Samuel Stone, who are

often mentioned together, were rather young for this

picture. The inscription in the upper corner is just five

inches long and appears to read iEtat(is) Svae (65)

An : 49. Mr. Bates discovered this line during our

study of the canvas. Whether the age is sixty-five or

not is clearly the crux of the matter. Perhaps these

figures will be proved by some future student of the

picture. Cotton was baptized in 1584, not in 1585.1 Miss Wildman has examined many sermons of the period.

IOIO

as it looked when painted

Probably

REV. JOHN COTTONi 5 84-1 652

(ion )

From the year 1641 on Cotton became an increasingly

prominent figure. Mather writes: "Mr. Cotton's grow-

ing and spreading fame, like Joseph's bough, 'ran over

the wall' of the Atlantic Ocean, unto such a degree, that

in the year 1641 some great persons in England were

intending to have sent over a ship on purpose to fetch

him over . . . the principal member in both houses of

parliament wrote unto him, with an opportunity for his

return into England."

The motto, Non est mortale quod opto, being inter-

preted / desire that which is not mortal, is a natural

one for a clergyman. It appears on the portrait of

Rev. Samuel Moore, author of "Yernings of Christs

bowels towards his languishing friends," engraved by

William Marshall in 1647. The Brooke family, in the

adjoining county of Yorkshire, used the motto in con-

nection with their coat-of-arms. There is evidence that

the ribbon which carries this motto is a late addition

to the portrait. There was an earlier ribbon above the

head, falling in graceful curves on either side of the

face, but now imperfectly concealed by dark paint. The

letters "1ST," and perhaps "RIST," can still be read.

This word, supposedly Christ, is toward or at the end

of the motto. Looking for a suitable phrase of six or

eight words in a chapter of Revelation used by Cotton,

I came upon these words in the sixth verse of Chapter 20

:

"They shall be priests of God and of Christ." In one

of Cotton's sermons, printed in 1642, and entitled, "The

Churches Resurrection, or the opening of the Fift and

Sixt verses of the 20th Chap, of the Revelation," I find

on page 2 the above phrase printed in italics. This

1013

motto, if indeed it was used on the portrait as origi-

nally painted, was blotted out, and Non est mortale

quod opto substituted. Then the motto and ribbon itself

were both obliterated and the latter motto was in-

scribed on a new ribbon over the sitter's right shoulder.

When the bands were substituted for the flat, square

collar and the long ribbons were done away with, a

moustache and a tuft of hair under the lower lip were

painted out. This mode was very popular at the time,

as shown in portraits of Endecott, Davenport, Rawson,

Pynchon, Leverett, and Strijcker.

Why was the painting so altered? Very likely Cotton,

who had long been discontented with Church of Eng-

land customs and observances, preferred to appear in

non-clerical collar such as gentlemen like Pynchon and

Saltonstall were accustomed to wear. Either the sitter

in later life or his family after his death came to prefer

a dress which showed forth his profession of a clergy-

man, and so had the clerical bands substituted. It may

be that the ribbons about the sitter's head seemed to

take away from the dignity of the portrait and led to

a desire for extensive alterations in the canvas. The

tradition that the portrait represented Increase Mather

may suggest that an early owner of the canvas trans-

formed the sitter to make him look as he thought

Mather must have looked.

A copy of Barker's Bible, 1599, may be seen at the

Massachusetts Historical Society. It bears the follow-

ing inscription, which shows that the Rev. John Cotton

gave it to his daughter Maria, wife of the Rev. In-

crease Mather:

1014

Mariah Mather her booke

Ex dono Reverendi Patris D. Joh. Cottoni

It is possible that Cotton gave a copy of this Bible to

each of his children and therefore that the copy shown

in the picture is not the one owned by the Historical

Society. This copy shows little or no thumbing of the

pages. The edition with Chapter III on the right-hand

page was, however, one which Cotton thought wise to

give to his daughter.

The tradition that the portrait represents a memberof the Mather family strengthens the theory that it

portrays Mrs. Mather's father. The date 1649 places

the picture a generation earlier than the Rev. Increase

Mather, and his father-in-law would be in the proper

period and in the line of Mather ancestry.

The description of Cotton himself, printed on page 561

of my "Portraits of the Founders," seems to fit the

portrait as well as any such laudatory description might

be expected to do. Mather says that he was "of a

sanguine complexion." This is still evident in the por-

trait under discussion, especially the lips.

If this is not the portrait of the Rev. John Cotton,

it would still seem to be the portrait of a clergyman

living in New England in 1649, and then about sixty

years of age, and interested at this time in the last part

of the third chapter of Revelation. Until a more likely

candidate is brought forward, we may with some re-

serve say that this appears to represent the great divine

who came from Boston, England, to acquire still greater

fame in the Boston of New England.

613 The original portrait of Thomas Lord Cole-

peper is by Adrian Hanneman, 1664. The copy

in the Virginia State Library was done by W. L.

635 Omit "Governor" after Bowdoin.

There is "another portrait of Bowdoin similar

to that previously mentioned, but I am unable to

tell which of these two portraits is the original.

Probably painted in 1746 or 1747. Owned by

Lendall Pitts, Esq., Detroit, Michigan."

636 A copy by Hannah Crowninshield of the Brad-

street portrait is owned by the New England

1056

Historic Genealogical Society. The hair is white;

eyes hazel; black cap and coat; olive-gray cloak;

white stock.

A letter from Mr. Charles A. Munn begins:

"The picture has been cleaned by HammondSmith and the injured part repaired. The very

imperfect restoration work, which was done evi-

dently some years ago, was taken out and the

curious shape of the nose in the Byfield portrait

was revealed. Apparently the nose was broken,

and this peculiarity appears quite distinctly in myportrait. The wig extends quite far over the right

shoulder. This almost disappears in the reproduc-

tion. The curls of the wig quite correspond, so

that your reproduction might easily have been a

photograph of my portrait. A most interesting

feature has been revealed, however, by the clean-

ing of the portrait. In the lower left-hand corner

we found the following: JEtat 78, 1730. . . .

Both Macbeth and I believe the portrait to be

by Smibert. Now if this is so, and I have no

doubt about it, who painted the other original

portrait of Byfield which you mention in your

'Founders'?" Mrs. Henry Wharton, of Philadel-

phia, has given the Athenaeum a photograph, by

C. S. Bradford, of the portrait of Byfield, owned

by George Tucker Bispham, Esq., of Philadelphia.

638 Eben Putnam says that when the portrait of

Gov. John Endecott was restored a generation

ago, the features of William C. Endicott, Senior,

were followed in strengthening the dim lines.

1057

642 There is an "original" portrait of Leverett at

the State House in Boston.

645 A reproduction of the Anne Pollard, showing

two hands and the frame, is given in "Antique

Views of Ye Towne of Boston," by J. H. Stark,

1 901, page 15. It is a "free-hand" drawing,

not a copy.

645 Rebecca Rawson's portrait is inscribed:

MTis SVJE

A DON 1670

649 The portrait of Venner which appears in the

Register is also in J. G. Muddiman's "The King's

Journalist," 1923, page 136, with inscription in

Latin.

652 There is a "reputed miniature of the Pilgrim

Father, Governor Edward Winslow, when a boy

about six years of age," which belonged to the

Rev. Dr. William Copley Winslow in 1899. I*

is reproduced in "Child Life in Colonial Days,"

by Alice Morse Earle, 1899, page 5.

1058

A Portrait of Miss Van der Bilt.

The very attractive portrait of a young woman of

perhaps twenty-five years of age is owned by Mr. John

Hill Morgan. She has a cap covering her ears, a whisk

of lace over her shoulders, lace at the sleeves, and wears

an embroidered glove. There are sprays of fruit before

her.

The portrait came to Mr. Morgan's mother from a

cousin, Mrs. Sarah Van Wagner. She had it from

Colonel Hunting, of Madison, New Jersey; the sitter

was related to one of his wives.

The De Peyster Children.

Through the kindness of Mr. Wall, I have been

able to study photographs of portraits of two boys and

a girl, from ten to sixteen years of age, owned by the

New York Historical Society. The boy with a deer

(No. 401) might represent Jacques de Peyster, who

married the sister of Mrs. Abraham de Peyster. The

young boy with a dog (No. 399) might at a hazard

be Johannes de Peyster, born at Amsterdam, 1685.

The girl with a lamb (No. 400) may be Margareta

Katrijn, later the wife of Abraham de Peyster.
