I recall now that HHV published a booklet called "The Limner's Trade: Selected Colonial and Federal Paintings from the Collection of Historic Hudson Valley."

Subject: Re: [NYHIST-L] Philipse Family portraits


Does anyone know where one may find paintings of members of the Philipse
family?  (They held the royal patent for most of what is now Putnam County.)
Specifically, we are looking for portraits of Susannah Philipse Robinson and
her husband Beverly Robinson and of Mary Philipse Morris and her husband
Roger Morris.  I have a vague recollection of seeing Copley portraits of one
or more of the Philipse sisters in the big Copley show in NYC years ago.
