John Hesselius painted Slator and his wife Ann, and at least 3 of her then living children: 1 year old Mary, ~5 year old Slator Jr, and ~6 year old Thomas. It seems likely that portraits were made of the older boys (Curtis, Robert, and John). If so, they may be on descendants walls waiting to be 'discovered'. | ||
