The sitter's grandson, Rev. William S. Boardman [b. 1838], New York.[1] The sitter's great-grandniece, Josephine Porter Boardman Crane [Mrs. Winthrop Murray Crane, 1873-1972], New York and Woods Hole, Massachusetts, by 1935;[2] gift 1948 to NGA. [1] The portrait presumably was inherited first by the sitter's son Frederic William Henry Boardman [1804-1882], New York City and New Hamburg, New York, and then by his son William S. Boardman. On these relationships see Charlotte Goldthwaite, _Boardman Genealogy 1525-1895_, (Hartford, 1895), 331-332, 408. [2] Mrs. Crane, the great-granddaughter of Elijah Boardman, the sitter's brother, owned the portrait by 1935, when she lent it to the exhibition at Yale University. Carl Boardman Cobb recalled that Mrs. Crane, his great-aunt, said she bought the painting from another member of the family (telephone interview, 8 January 1990). For Mrs. Crane's dates see Goldthwaite 1895, 545, and the _National Cyclopedia of American Biography_ 57 (Clifton, New Jersey, 1977), 720.
