Slade, Benjamin

American, born after 1788

Biography

One of the eleven or more children of Joseph and Alsa (or Elsie) Sherman Slade of Swansea, Massachusetts, Benjamin Slade is said to have been a fervent patriot. He named his first son Lafayette, and painted the house he built above Waterford, New York, in the colors of the American flag--hence earning for it the name "Red, White and Blue House". Benjamin Slade inherited a portrait of his father (now in the NGA), painted in 1816 by one of the best known of the American naive painters, Ammi Phillips. A "Slade-Babcock Genealogical Newsletter" existed as of 1968; copies of it were sent to the New England Historical Society and the Library of Congress.
