Some photos of a painting of one Gad Colton. The subject, a progenitor of my mother's line, was born in Longmeadow, Mass., in 1754, served as a private soldier during the Revolution in Col. David Leonard's Regiment (I don't find Leonard listed as a Continental officer, so I'm guessing that was a state or militia regiment), became a sea captain merchant of some wealth, was elected a selectman of Monson, Mass., in the 1790s, and died in 1831.

I couldn't quite get a shot without glare (there's a chandelier and a table that prevent one from shooting straight on...)
