Few bio­ graphical notes of geuel'al interest are included. The facts are believed to be accurate, but the com­ piler can not be held in any way responsible for errors or misleading statements. Anyone who has attempted gen­ ealogical research will realize that exact information about ancestral data often can not be obtained. Earlv• records may be confused. Spellings of names and even places are vari~d. \ 1 ital data are incomplete, or may be based on hearsay or guess, and often are in error, or missing alto­ gether. A search into a genealogical record may be made hy a number of persons independently, and the results may be discussed publicly or privately before even a partial consensus of opinion is developed, and this later may be found not to express the truth. ~-,or such reasons the in­ formation given herewith is often not as complete as de­ si1·ed, and may indeed contain misstatements. Authorities and sources are in general omitted as being of little use to any but the professional genealogist. All data have been triply checked from original sources. In general, if errors are found, I should like very much to learn about them; and if additional related data are known or become available·, I shall be glad to receive them. But in order to be of use they should be as accurate and complete as possible, with connections to names listed here or in the BOUTON-BOUGHTON FAMILY book correctly indicated. The receipt of friendly informative letters will be acknowledged as soon as possible, but for obvious rea­ sons any argumentative correspondence is to be avoided. y The nu1tt0r of thfl h(lst arrnng0n1ent for tabulutinA the ,·arious lines of descent ,Yas most carefully.. eousidered. Th<.' method finally adotlted is believed to be elear and com- prPhe1u~i ,·p, although it does not follow th(l orthodox pat­ tern. Briefly, the ancestral line and the 1u1mP of th(• ori~­ iual stated aneestor head the first section of earh ta hlt'. (~hildren are identified by large Roman numerals: g1 and­ children by Hmall Roman numerals; and so on, through capital letters, small letters, Arabic numerals, and ciomhiu­ ations of the latter t,vo. Children of anv., descendant are tabulated in a subordinate position. When there haH hePn more than oue marriage the order of marriages is sho\\·n hy an Arabic numeral in parentheses; and the name of eaeh child in such a case is when needed preceded hy the same numeral in parenth(1ses as that of the respertive "~ife. .l\_ brief examination of the tables will, it is believed, make the pla1i <]nite clear. The abbreviations employed throughout the tables should be easil .Y understood. B. or b. mpans born; ~r. or m., married; D. or d., died; bur., huried ~ hap., haptised; T,vp., tcnY1ud1ip; Co., county; B.B.~ the Bouton-Boughton F"'amily hook, by ,James Boug-hton, described else"·here . ..A.8 a rule, data g-iven in the Bouton-Bou~·hton I?amily book are repeated here only "~hen additions or corrections are made, or to show a family line or connection, or for some other obvious reason. I am deeply indebted to a gTeat many near and dis­ tant relatives and other interested per~on~ for most of the informatioJ1 included. They have been patient and helpful under the cross questioning t hn t Rcemed to be neces~ary in order to obtain as complete information as possible, and I hope that the lists thus g-radualiy gathered "~ill be of inter­ eHt and value to them and their familie8.

BOUGHTON Fort Lauderdale, Florida 1948 vii Origin of the American Family In 1890 Jan1es Bou.td1ton publisht~d a book of g·enealog­ ical data called the ··Bouton-Boughton lf'amily.'' It con­ tains a great amouut of infornu1tion and is ,Yithout doubt as complete as "·a8 possible at the time. lJnfortunately it also includes errors, both clerical and in fact, many of them not the fault of the compiler, so that its information can not he wholly tru~ted. For example, the list of chil­ dren of Eleazer Boughton III does not include either Al­ den or Tro,vhridge, ninth and tenth children, although Myron, the eleventh child, is listed. The account given in that hook of the orig·in of the Bouton family in .. A_merica is colorful, but later research has sho"yn that it is not correct, and the information given there about the first ,John Bouton and his son and g-rand­ son, both named John, is inaccurate. Frank 1\llabeu, a descendant of Deacon John Bouton of the fourth g·enera tion, and himself for many years a professional genealog·iHt, g;ives the follo"·ing information: "John Bouton I had none of the wives assigned to him, but instead m. Alice -- and d. before 1647 when his widow m. Matthew Marvin. Alice was b. about 1610 and made her will Dec. 1, 1680." Their children were: i. John Bouton II. Not mentioned in the B. B. book. M.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 COLLECTING OLD MASTERS FOR NEW YORK: HENRY GURDON MARQUAND AND THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART Esmée Quodbach The subject of this article is the collector Henry Gurdon Marquand (1819–1902), banker and railroad financier, and a noted member of the burgeoning class of newly prosperous business magnates of Gilded Age New York. An exception- ally civic-minded patron, Marquand set out in the early 1880s to assemble a group of first-class Old Master paintings for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This paper explores Marquand’s acquisitions, especially the Flemish and Dutch paintings he bought. Focusing on Marquand’s 1889 gift of thirty-seven Old Masters to the museum—the first gift of its kind—this paper also considers Marquand’s aspirations, not only as a major private collector but especially as a leading donor to the institution, whose second president he became in 1889.

  • The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision
    The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision Marie-François-Régis Gignoux (1814–1882) Mammoth Cave, Kentucky , ca. 1843 Oil on canvas Gift of an Anonymous Donor, X.21 After training at the French École des Beaux-Arts , Gignoux immigrated to the United States, where he soon established himself as a landscape specialist. He was drawn to a vast underground system of corridors and chambers in Kentucky known as Mammoth Cave. The site portrayed has been identified as the Rotunda—so named because its grand, uninterrupted interior space recalls that of the Pantheon in Rome. Gignoux created a romantic image rooted in fact and emotion. In contrast to the bright daylight glimpsed through the cavern mouth, the blazing fire impresses a hellish vision that contemporaneous viewers may have associated with the manufacture of gunpowder made from the bat guano harvested and rendered in vats in that very space since the War of 1812. William Trost Richards (1833–1905) June Woods (Germantown) , 1864 Oil on linen The Robert L. Stuart Collection, S–127 Richards followed the stylistic trajectory of the Hudson River School early in his career, except for a brief time in the early 1860s, when he altered his technique and compositional approach in response to the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics of the English critic John Ruskin. Ruskin’s call for absolute fidelity to nature manifested itself in the United States in a radical 1 group of artists who formed the membership of the Association for the Advancement of Truth in Art, to which Richards was elected in 1863.

    Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.

Certainly every person in the hotel had read it. It is true that some parts have a sickly flavour, perhaps only to us! I heard many remarks such as, “Oh! How interesting!” The rapture was general concerning your house. Such a house could scarcely have been imagined in London.1 Harry How’s “Illustrated Interview” with the Royal Academician Luke Fildes in his luxurious studio house in London’s Holland Park may have seemed a little “sickly” to Fildes and his brother-in-law Henry Woods, but such publicity was always welcome in an age when celebrity sold paintings. As Julie Codell demonstrates in The Victorian Artist: Artists’ Lifewritings in Britain ca. 1870–1910, late nineteenth-century art periodicals played an important role in building and maintaining the public’s interest in living artists.

  • Thomas Betts (1618 - 1688)
    THOMAS BETTS (1618 - 1688) and HIS DESCENDANTS Princip::illy compiled by CHARLES WYllYS BETTS New York, 1888 Indexed by William E. Weihrouch 1991 The accompanying history of Thomas Betts and his descenfu\nts was principally compiled by the late C. Wyllys Betts (482). At his death on April 27, 1887, the larger part of the history down to and including part of the "FIFTH GENERATION," was al­ ready in the bands of the printer. It was not his intention at this time, as I am informed, to carry the family history in detail further than the fifth generation, except in the case of his own immediate branch of it, the descendants of Samuel Comstock Betts (63) and Uriah Betts (237). He had in 1886 published a catalogue of the descendants of Samuel Comstock Betts in the line of Zebulon Betts (237), and it was, perhaps, his in­ tention at a later period, but not in the present volume, to continue to the present time the list of desceudants of all branches of the family. His death terminated any such plans, and placed upon me, his brother, the duty of carrying forward his unfinished work, as far as it bad been already entered upon. I have completed his work as far as possible for me to do by using the materials which he left, and by following the lines of in­ quiry upon whicll he had already entered. I have commenced no independent investigations .• Any omissions are due to the fact that the work is thus pre­ sented. The history of the descendants of U ria Betts (237) has, however, been written wholly by me, because personally known.
