There is some question as to which John Isham this piece portrays. John Isham of Barnstable, Massachusetts (1721-1802), moved to Colchester, Connecticut, in 1746. His uncle (1691-ca. 1773), who moved to Windsor, Connecticut, in 1740, was also named John Isham. The miniature was originally set in the cover of a snuffbox.
