Conrad Martens "Account of Pictures Painted at N.S. Wales" NAME INDEX TO PATRONS 1835-1878 Compiled by Michael Organ 1989 Editorial Note: The spellings encountered in Conrad Martens' "Account of Pictures painted at N.S. Wales" are quite variable, such that surnames and titles are often spelt a number of different ways e.g. "Dumarick" and "Dumaresq". Problems also arise due to difficulties in distinguishing between certain letters such as "J", "G", "L" and "C" when they are used for Christian names. Spellings are as written by Martens in his account book, however corrections have been made where obvious. For example, "Dumaresq" is the correct spelling, and not "Dumarick".
