Abstract:

This biographical essay of colonial figure John Mare is a collaboration between two different researchers who were united only by coincidence. Their individual work on John Mare's life produced biographical sketches so different that at first glance the two stories seemed unlikely to be about the same man. When united in their research, they were able to link their work and produca complete sketches of Mare, one of his early life as a painter in New York, and the other of a merchant and political figure in Edenton, North Carolina. A chapter is dedicated to both segments of his life, the work of each author, with a third chapter discussing how the two sketches proved to be of the same man.
