I did some checking on the internet as I believe the painting to be extremely fine and possibly by Gilbert Stuart. In my checking I found that he painted a portrait of Joseph Anthony 3rd when he was 16 or 17. I always thought that the boy was either from a wealthy farm or sailing family because of his ruddy cheeks. Do you know if there is already a known painting of this young man and if so, could you tell me where to see it?<br /><br />I would appreciate your help as I have had the portrait for over 30 years and have always wondered who it was.<br /><br />Many thanks for your time.<br /><br />Jeff MeyerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594234964440614797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202332774471287882.post-12303101919060613392013-05-24T14:05:49.640-07:002013-05-24T14:05:49.640-07:00Jann, It is almost a year later, I decided to do a...Jann, It is almost a year later, I decided to do another post on Henrietta and discovered your comment.

Let's be bold. The attribution is incorrect. It, too, is a Gilbert Stuart.But why the artistic community is so long in acknowledging this remains a mystery to me. <br /><br />On the occasion of her second marriage, June 16, 1796, Catherine travelled to Philadelphia where the witnesses for the wedding where none other than George and Martha Washington. <br /><br />Hypothesis - what a fitting wedding present for the bride who was always close to the Washington's; particularly as Catherine's first husband, General Nathanael Greene, was Washington's "right hand" man during the war's southern campaign. <br /><br />The style of the portrait is Stuart - so what's the delay? Ah the troika of experts!<br /><br /><br />The New Georgia Encyclopedia will soon feature the Catherine Greene portrait (as shown in the Telfair Museum) as part of their website. <br /><br />The current website attribution is a copy with the Rhode Island Historical Society. <br /><br />Catherine is reputed to be the real brains behind the cotton gin invention - but given women were not allowed to have patents - the credit has gone to Eli Whitney.<br /><br />And, to quote the late Paul Harvey, "is the rest of the story"(!)David McCannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202332774471287882.post-5214274980905759532009-05-28T14:30:29.181-07:002009-05-28T14:30:29.181-07:00Ah the Hillegas family!

In her letter to David Rittenhouse asking his assistance in preserving the home from those dastardly British - Catherine Wister Miles cites the Miles' Philadelphia home as being next to the Hillegas house.<br /><br />Seems as Samuel Miles was a prisoner of war in NYC, the home was empty while the Miles family was in hiding in one of the suburbs of the city.<br /><br />She - Catherine - was made of some pretty strong stuff to keep the family togther!<br /><br />A copy of the 1776 letter was provided to me by the Philadelphia based American Philosophical Society.<br /><br />All good wishes.
