This portrait painted by David Hunter Strother in 1843 is part of the permanent collection of the Syracuse University Art Dept., Syracuse, NY. It was for many years in the possession of Maria Louise Edwards, his niece. Much to the distress of another niece Olive Edwards Palmer, Maria sold the painting to a collector of DH Strother paintings when as an elderly woman, she no longer had a place to hang it.
