Notes
General:
"The portrait is of Hulda Freeman, born in 1802, Hulda Crosby married a restless ship captain–Solomon Freeman, Jr.–who went to sea to earn money but "emigrated" to the Midwest without her in the late 1830s in hopes of more lucrative opportunities. Not finding them, he returned to the sea and eventually retired to his ancestral farm in Brewster where he became a very wealthy man managing other people's money. She is shown here wearing the "morning cap" evidently favored by all Brewster women, married or of a certain age.
