The exact history of the original charcoal of the widely-distributed formal portrait of the elderly Isaac Husk has not been determined. However, it is known that it was handed down to his grandson Walter "Shiner" Husk. Per Shiner's instructions, upon his death in 1993, it was in turn passed down to Isaac's great-grandson Samuel D. Gaston. Following Sam's death in 2012, it was handed down to his nephew and Isaac's g-g-grandson, Renee L. Brown, with whom Sam had collaborated on this genealogy for so many years.
