Portrait Said to Be Theodosia Burr Under North Carolina Light
A reported portrait in Elizabeth City North Carolina is linked to Theodosia Burr Alston wife of Joseph Alston. The tale ties her 1812 voyage aboard the Patriot to her fate, with a family rumor of a shipwreck and pirate stories. The painting, discovered by Dr. Pool and later examined by locals, resembles confirmed images of Theodosia, though proof remains inconclusive.
