This painting was once thought to be of Caleb Whitefoord (1734–1810), who became a member in 1762 and was a prominent and very active member of the Society as Committee Chairman and Vice-President of the Society. He was instrumental in obtaining the portraits of both William Shipley and Peter Templeman for the Society. This portrait and the companion portrait of Mary his wife (thought to be) both painted on distinctive matching oval canvases are by an unknown artist.
