As a hobby I rescued old photos that have identification on them. I picked up a framed (frame was a newer wreck so I discarded it), portrait of a family. This was taken mid-late 1800s. All of the subjects are adults and they're seated around an older couple-mom & dad. Dad is old with white hair & a white beard. All of the adult couples are mid 20s and older. I don't think any of the older couple's grandchildren are in the photo.
They are identified as:
1-Aunt Minnie Scott (3d)
Lester-husband son Walter.
2-Uncle Tom (2nd)
Maria wife, Anna, Rori, Effie, Fred, children.
3-Aunt Emily
Wm. Porter Husband-No Family
4-John Charles (I don't think this is a surname?)
Elen Jane wife-Norman, Harold, Vira children.
5-Aunt Maggie (6th)
Theo Beach Husband, Percy son.
6-Uncle Jim
Mary-wife, no family (8th) twin
7-Aunt Kate
Richard Porter Husband, Emiliy-Minnie-Eva
8- Aunt Lottie (oldest #1)
Chas. Arthur Waite husband, Cecil-Bert
9-Uncle Will (8th) Twin
Maggie Hillman wife, Emily=Dorothy-Gertie-Percy
In different handwriting is written:
Grandfather-Thomas Daniel (Called T.D.)
Grandmother(Jane Porter?)
This is really a stunning piece of family history. I wish I knew where it was taken. I found it at a flea market in Michigan. Where it originated from, God only knows? (Unless it rings a bell with someone here?) The one upper right corner is bent, but it doesn't distract from the photo (it's placed in the center, as if it's matted.)
If you'd like to obtain it, contact me at: digginroots@yahoo.com
