The artist, and thence by descent
Paton had four children by Maggie Ferrier whom he married in 1858, one a year 1859 – 1862 and one every other year 1864 – 1874, eleven in all. He used his army of children as models for the fairies and imps he increasingly painted; they were perfectly suited to the role.
