Edward Winslow By an anonymous artist, school of Robert Walker Painted in London, 1651 Material: Oil on canvas Edward Winslow (1595-1655) was a Mayflower passenger and a leader of the Plymouth Colony. He served as an ambassador to the Wampanoag, wrote several books about Plymouth Colony, and served 3 terms as governor. Winslow made many trips to England -- in 1624, he brought the first cattle back to America. In 1646, he returned to England and was asked to stay by the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell. Edward Winslow was among those commissioned to retrieve English ships in the West Indies that had been captured by the Dutch. Winslow died on the journey and was buried at sea. The portrait of Edward Winslow is the only likeness of a Pilgrim made from life. It was painted by an unknown English artist in 1651 when the 57-year-old Winslow was joined in London by his son Josiah on the occasion of Josiah's wedding to Penelope Pelham. Josiah and Penelope also had their portraits painted at this time. Edward Winslow is depicted holding a letter. The only portion that is legible is the inscription at the bottom which reads "From yr loving wife Susanna." Susanna White Winslow did not accompany her husband Edward on his travels but remained at home at the family's estate, Careswell, in the Plymouth Colony town of Marshfield. Edward Winslow is shown wearing black and white (it used to be thought that the Mayflower passengers wore only those colors). When Winslow was painted in 1651, black was very fashionable and expensive. In 1620, however, when the Pilgrims came to America, colors were fashionable. .

One of the earhest was Augustine Clemens, who began painting in Reading, England, in 1623. He came to Boston in 1638 and probably did the portrait of Dr. John Clarke, now at Harvard Medical School, about 1664.' His son, Samuel, was a member of the next generation of Boston painters which also included John Foster and Thomas Smith. Foster, a Harvard graduate and printer, may have painted the portraits of John Davenport, John Wheelwright and Increase Mather. Smith was commis- sioned to paint the President of Harvard in 1683.^ While this portrait has been lost, Smith's own self-portrait is still extant. When the eighteenth century opened, a substantial number of pictures were painted in Boston. The artists of this period practiced a more academic style and show foreign training but very few are recorded by name. Perhaps various English artists traveled here, painted for a time and returned without leaving a written record of their trips. These artists are known only by their pictures and their identity is defined by the names of the sitters. Two of the most notable in Boston are the Pierpont Limner and the Pollard Limner. These paint- ers worked at the same time the so-called Patroon painters of New York flourished.

Finding Aid: English Origins Project Descriptive Summary Repository: Plimoth Plantation Archive Location: Plimoth Plantation Research Library Collection Title: English Origins Project Dates: 1983-1985 (roughly) Extent: 2 drawers in wide filing cabinet Preferred Citation: English Origins Project, 1983-1985, Plimoth Plantation Archive, Plimoth Plantation, Plymouth, MA Abstract: The English Origins Project consists of 126 folders of material. Material is broken into general project information, family research, and town/village research. Administrative Information Access Restrictions: Access to materials may be restricted based on their condition; consult the Archive for more information. Use Restrictions: Use of materials may be restricted based on their condition or copyright status; consult the Archives for more information. Acquisition Information: Plimoth Plantation Related Collections and Resources: TBD Historical Note The English Origins Project was a project undertaken by researchers from Plimoth Plantation in 1984. The project was funded by an NEH Grant. The goal of the project was to gather information from towns and communities in England where the early settlers of Plymouth Colony lived before they migrated to America. The hope was to gather information to help create training manuals for the interpreters at Plimoth Plantation so that they could more accurately portray the early settlers. Plimoth Plantation is a living history museum where the interpreters provide the bulk of the information and knowledge about the 17th century settlement to the guests therefore accurate portrayal is very important. This project greatly improved interpretation and continues to benefit both interpreters and guests of the museum to this day. The research focused on dialect, folklore, material culture, agriculture, architecture, and social history.

Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter. All students who are interested 7O AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY in problems concerning the early churches along the Atlantic seaboard and the occupants of their pulpits are indebted to the labors of Dr. Frederick Lewis Weis and his invaluable compendiums on the clergymen and parishes of the various colonies.
