This oval minature had an inscripton on the back stating that it was supposed to be of Abrahm Crompton of Chorley Hall, Lancashire who was the great grandfather of Anne Marsh-Caldwell. Anne's mother was Elizabeth Caldwell (nee Stamford, 1754-1831) who's mother was Hannah Stamford (nee Crompton, 1720-1788) daughter of John Crompton (1682-1750) who was the son of Abraham Crompton (1649?-1724).

If the portrait is of Anne's great grandfather then it must be of John Crompton (1682-1750) and this would possibly be more in keeping with the possible date of the portrait. On the other hand it could be John's brother, the younger Abraham Crompton (1690-1766). There is a reward offered of
