Joseph Dunkerley came to America as a British soldier, but in 1778 he resigned from the army and rented a house in Boston from Paul Revere, the renowned silversmith. Revere made cases with scalloped edges, like this one, for many of Dunkerley's miniatures. William Dandridge Peck became the first professor of Natural History at Harvard University in 1805.
