Presenting pair of circa 1830’s – 1840 folk art portrait oil paintings of Phillip and Sarah Custer. There is some old writing that was taped to the versos suggesting the couple were aunt and uncle to George Armstrong Custer. They appear to have benne reThe writing indicates that Phillip was uncle to Gen G. Also that Phillip & Sarah was Gloria’s great grandparents. That said we have not been able to make the connection. We have provided some information that we found on the Custer genealogy site. Philip Custer was born in Pennsylvania on September 11, 1797 Pennsylvania. He married Sarah Rayman daughter of Charles Rayman and Catherine Moore , on December 31, 1831 at Berlin, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. She was born on March 17, 1812 and died on December 20, 1886. Phillip Custer died on May 29, 1874 Sarah Rayman married Philip Custer, son of John Custer on December 11, 1831 at Berlin, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Sarah Custer died on 20 December 1886 at age 74. She was buried on 23 December 1886 at German Reformed Church Cemetery, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The oil paintings are on stretched canvas. They measure approx 26″x 22″. There has been restoration on them. I will guess the restoration was done in the first quarter or half of the 20th century. Both have been rebacked, re-stretched and varnished. I viewed under a black light and detected very little florescence. If there was repaint it was probably very early on. You will notice that Sarah’s collar is lacking detail on the left side. That suggests that the restorer elected to keep the painting original rather than to add paint. There is one tear at bottom of Sarah. The tear was after they were rebacked. A patch was added on the reverse. They both have some puckering to the canvas. How could we split them up after nearly 200 years! If you can connect the relationship to Gen. George Armstrong Custer it would be a real bonus.
