Abstract:

Over 60 descendants of John Burgwin (Burgwyn) gathered at the North Carolina Museum of Art for the presentation of a portrait of their colonial ancestor by English painter John Singleton Copley, one of the best-known artists of the 18th century. John Burgwin, born in Wales, became a successful businessman and officer-holder in colonial North Carolina.
