Are These Your Ancestors?

These three portraits have been stored in the back of the collections room at the Denison Homestead for many years. Although they are among the most impressive and also the largest paintings the Homestead has, we have no records on them at all. Since they do not appear in early photographs or inventories of the house, we think they must have been given to the Homestead by a Denison descendant, possibly sometime in the 1990s. So we thought we’d ask our membership - are these your ancestors?
