In May 1980 we received a donation of a picture of Joseph Kingsland III from Mrs. Trudy Austin who lived on Kingsland Road in Clifton. Trudy was formally Gertrude Kingsland, the great-great granddaughter of Henry Joseph Kingsland (1778-1826), the first-born son of Joseph Kingsland. Trudy was born in 1920 and was a professional model and later a narrator. She married Jack Payne Austin in 1960. It was the second marriage for them both. At the time of the donation, they were both living in Newton, NJ. Jack passed away in 2002 and Trudy in 2006.

The description that was written when the picture was accepted by the Historic Restoration Trust was: portrait of Joseph Kingsland; frame made by him; 14-1/2” x 12-1/2” oak wood 1-1/2” wide; Picture itself – 5” x 3-5/8”.

The picture of Joseph Kingsland III is displayed in the Parlor.
