You end up with many images dealing with Jefferson......<BR/><BR/>Dr. John F. Fauquier was an assistant/deputy to Newton when he was in charge of the mint. I found no images indicating they were him. There may be none on the net as far as I know.<BR/><BR/>Lt.Gov. Fauquier was born in 1703/1704 depending on the source. This means when he took his office in 1758 he would have been around 55 years old. He left office because of death in 1768...he was 64. <BR/><BR/>Google images gave two resources for the image I used. One page was the website for the history of the Eastern State Hospital with a virginia.gov suffix. The picture at that site is the same one I used and has a caption "Governor Francis Fauquier, Royal Gov. of Virginia" The other picture is from a website with wvu.edu as the suffix. The same image is used in a biography of Adam Stephens.<BR/><BR/>The young image you refer to is also used at Wikipedia. I believe they are both of the Lt. Gov. but were produced at different stages of his life. I elected to use the one that portrayed him as Jefferson would have seen him at their dinner parties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-58640992185632319782007-02-16T21:23:00.000-05:002007-02-16T21:23:00.000-05:00Great article.I'm confused and not sure that I sho...Great article.<BR/><BR/>I'm confused and not sure that I should hang my head in pure shame.<BR/><BR/>I had looked up Francis Fauquier! (I'm a virginian who now resides in Alexandria, but for several years lived in Upperville which is on the border of Fauquier and Loudoun.)<BR/><BR/>I discounted fauquier since the image I had was not a match to the<BR/>portrait that I had. My Fauquier is of a far different man! I looked back at the images and finally found yours way down the line. (Naturally I trusted the first few I had seen.)<BR/><BR/>Could the Richmond Times Dispatch been so mistaken?<BR/><BR/>Or did I get father and son mixed up?<BR/><BR/><BR/>This comment doesn't seem to accept the html and the url is too long so you can see what I mean. I may post it on my site as an intellectual exercise.The Tour Marmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701469966951623627noreply@blogger.com
