Andrew Kirkpatrick Cogswell [d. 1887], New Brunswick, New Jersey;[1] his second wife, Virginia Claiborne Latrobe Cogswell, New Brunswick, New Jersey, and Baltimore;[2] her son, John H.B. Latrobe Cogswell [d. 1967]; his half-niece, Mary V.R. Thayer [Mrs. Sigourney Thayer], Washington, D.C.; gift 1968 to NGA. [1] The provenance was provided by the donor of the painting in an undated memorandum (in NGA curatorial files). [2] A death date for Virginia Cogswell has not been established. An obituary for her husband in the _New York Daily Tribune_, 14 February 1887, states that she was then "at the point of death"; however, according to Mary Thayer (undated memorandum in NGA curatorial files), Virginia Cogswell and her son John "returned to Baltimore to live" following the death of Judge Cogswell.
