Mary and Susannah were sisters. They and a middle sister (Elizabeth) married the Walker brothers: Joshua married Susannah; Joseph married Elizabeth; Thomas married Mary. The eldest sister was called Hephzibah. There is a pastel portrait of Hephzibah and an oil painting of her daughter, Elizabeth, on display at Clifton Park Museum. Clifton Park Museum was originally the home of Joshua and Susannah Walker. The Museum is now home to some of our largest and most interesting art treasures. These include full-size paintings of Joshua and Susannah, and a full-length painting of Ann Verelst of Aston Hall by George Romney.
