Ruth
Henshaw Bascom was born in Leicester, Massachusetts. Her life and
career as a portraitist are exceptionally well documented, owing to the
existence of the journal she kept from 1789 through 1846, in which she
recorded more than one-thousand likenesses.
After the death of
her first husband in 1805, the artist married the Reverend Ezekiel
Bascom and settled in Gerry (now Phillipston), Massachusetts, where she
was a teacher, church record keeper, librarian, hat maker, (showing 500 of 3255 characters). |
