Portraits of Mr. & Mrs. Christopher Hughes & daughter, Baltimore, MD, 1789

The January 2009 issue of ANTIQUES magazine has an ad on p. 74 picturing two portraits of Baltimore silversmith and entrepreneur Christopher Hughes & his wife Peggy Sanderson Hughes & her daughter, painted in 1789. The portraits are by the great American artist Charles Willson Peale.

I am scanning this page in case any of Christopher Hughes' descendants might like a copy, either by email or by postal mail. Someone in the Hughes family ought to have them--they are too good to be missed by the family. They may not have a lot of genealogical value, but they certainly have a great deal of family and artistic value.

My email address can be found by clicking on my underlined name above. Please reply to me at my email address rather than leave a message on this Genforum site, which I might not see.

If it were a portrait of a Mr. & Mrs. Pease, I'd certainly want someone to do the same for me.

Bill Pease, Lancaster, PA
