The crowd was so dense in Walnut Street that police could scarcely keep the crowd back. April the 23rd: a fine opportunity of viewing the corpse and decorations of the hall, which was totally covered with black cloth except for the statue & portraits of General Washington & wife. I staid one hour and left Mary gazing on the corpse, she intending to paint a portrait of him ... On March 6, 1820, he married Eliza Burd Patterson (December 6, 1795 – 1864) and they had children Charles Willson, George Patterson, William, Mary Jane (1826–1902) (who also was a painter), James Burd, and Edward Burd. Charles Willson Peale (Feb 15, 1821 – Sept 30, 1871) married Harriet Friel (b. Aug 11, 1830); their son Albert Charles Peale (1849-1914) became a geologist with the US Geological Survey. In 1985, the National Gallery of Art paid $4.07 million for "Rubens Peale with a Geranium", an 1801 portrait by his brother Rembrandt Peale. This set a record for an American work of art sold at auction. In 2007, Princeton University Art Museum bought Rubens Peale's "Still Life With Watermelon", in honor of John Wilmerding.
