Mary Sherburne (1735-1799), later Mrs. Jerathmael Bowers, portrait c. 1763
The Summer 2005 issue of ANTIQUES & FINE ART magazine on p. 143 pictures an excellent c.1763 portrait of Mrs. Jerathmael Bowers by the artist John Singleton Copley.
Mrs. Bowers was a Quaker born Mary Sherburne, the daughter of Mary Watson and Joseph Sherburne, a merchant of considerable wealth in Boston.
I am scanning this page in case any of Miss Sherburne's relatives or Mrs. Bowers' descendants might like a copy, either by email or by postal mail. Somebody in the families ought to have it--it's too good to be missed by the families.

If it were a portrait of a Mr. Pease, I'd sure want someone to do the same for me.
