Photographs, Portraits and Archival Leads

Yale family photographs

Yale’s Glenway Wescott papers contain portraits and family images spanning generations. Prior archival searches identified photographs of Mulhocaway Farm and the Flemington Fair in September 1941, and portraits of Bruce, Josephine, Lloyd and Barbara. Researchers should confirm folder references against the current finding aid before requesting reproductions.

Art and photographs

Portraits of Glenway Wescott by George Platt Lynes and a Paul Cadmus painting of Lloyd and Barbara Wescott offer visual windows into the Hunterdon family’s artistic life. Images may be copyrighted; a catalog record does not grant permission to republish.

The historical marker

The Lloyd Wescott marker near Rosemont provides an accessible contemporary photograph and concise historical summary. Credit and reuse terms should be checked before copying the photograph.

Musical artifacts

An extended-family account identifies Harvey Hunt Wescott’s violin and Civil War fifes, an interesting parallel to Eugene Merritt Wescott’s fiddle in Coral’s book. The exact kinship and artifact provenance need verification.
