Leah Nathan and her twin sister Rachel were the first children born to Lyon and Caroline Webb Nathan. Lyon, an immigrant from Germany, had been naturalized in Reading Pennsylvania in 1763. In 1770 Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia decided to employ a full-time shammash, and Lyon was the recipient of the appointment. His duties were described as follows: "to keep shull [synagogue] and everything belonging in it clean and in good order, he is to make all the candles— light them when they are wanted, and see them properly set out. He is to attend whenever there is prayers, and see the shull secured afterwards… He is to see the lamp is kept constantly burning. He is to attend all circumcisions, wedding and funerals, which are according to our religion, and no others."
On Noveber 4, 1778, the twins celebrated a double marriage— Leah to Jacob Hart, Sr. and Rachel to Dr. Isaac Abrahams. Leah and her new husband moved to Baltimore and later to New York. They had thirteen children, among them Rebecca and Nathan, and she lived to the incredible age of ninety-three, thirty-five years after this portrait was painted. [5]
