Henry Benbridge (20 October 1743–25 January 1812) was a portraitist, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1771. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and began his studies at the Academy of Philadelphia from an early age, graduating in 1758. Benbridge then studied portraiture locally before receiving his father’s inheritance and moving to Rome to further his artistic education. There he is thought to have studied under Pompeo Batoni, whose influence is evident in Benbridge’s work. Benbridge’s career took off when his 1768 portrait of General Pascal Paoli appeared at the court of the Grand Duke of Florence and then at the Free Society of Artists in England the following year. Benbridge left for England shortly thereafter and exhibited two portraits at the Royal Academy in 1770 before returning to America. Back home, Benbridge moved from Philadelphia to Charleston, South Carolina. He supported the revolutionary cause which resulted in his capture and imprisonment by British forces in 1780 before being released and returning to Philadelphia where he painted his portrait of Bushrod Washington. After the war, Benbridge returned to Charleston and kept busy painting portraits until moving to Norfolk, Virginia about a decade later. In Norfolk, he instructed the now far more renowned Thomas Sully in portrait painting. It is unknown where Benbridge died, however he was buried in Christ Churchyard in Philadelphia. (ANB) | |

James Lloyd (24 March 1728–14 March 1810) was a surgeon and obstetrician, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1771. He was born at a manor on Long Island, New York, and his father’s sizable collection of medical texts may have inspired him to pursue a career as a doctor. James apprenticed and studied under the Boston physicians Silvester Gardiner and John Clark between 1745 and 1748, and, in 1749, traveled to London to work as a resident at Guy’s Hospital. There, he learned groundbreaking surgical techniques like flap amputations, and attended lectures performed by pioneering surgeons and obstetricians. After completing his tenure in London, Lloyd returned to Boston, where, in addition to opening his own practice in surgery and obstetrics, he showed a commitment to educating a new generation of physicians. He performed lectures on the techniques he had learned abroad and apprenticed at least ten young doctors between 1760 and 1790. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, Lloyd was serving as a surgeon for a British military unit based near Boston. For this, he was labeled a traitor and jailed, but was soon released in the hopes that he would use his medical skill to serve the patriot cause. After the war, the British offered Lloyd financial redress for his war-ravaged Long Island manor if he would become a British citizen. He refused. Lloyd was a founder of the Massachusetts Medical Society and thought to be the first specialized obstetrician in America. He was the father of six children, one of whom, James Lloyd III, became a Massachusetts senator. James Lloyd died in Boston in 1810. (ANB) | |
