Oil portrait of a white man with reddish-gray hair and beard, cross-eye, in old-fashioned black coat and slender tie, white dress shirt, and pearl-tipped pin, dating to about 1860.
Oil portrait of Captain P. F. Kennedy, c. 1860, who captained a steamer as a blockade runner for the South during the Civil War. He is an ancestor of my partner's, and I've enjoyed uncovering his story. I have started writing a family history with him at the center. #blockaderunner #genealogy
