Appeared as a baby on a Confederate $10 bill?

[edit]

This seems unlikely if you think about it at all. A kid from New hampshire was painted or engraved about 1807, became an abolitionist, moved to Pennsylvania. 54 years later his childhood portrait is put on a Confederate $10 bill (but they didn't know that it was him). Then somehow the word got out. Possible but very, very unlikely. There are 2 refs for this 1) identifies the baby as Elwyn and gives a bio of Elwyn, but doesn't explain how A got to B or how he was later identified. Does not look like a reliable source. 2) has a nice title, but not online, might be a reliable source, but might not have proof of such an unlikely story. Should this be removed?
